The Oral Gesture Theory:

It shows a link between physical gestures and orally produced sounds. It does seem reasonable that
physical gestures involving a whole body could have been a means of indicating a wide range of
emotional status and intentions. Indeed many of our physical gestures are the means of non-verbal
communication skill developed by modern humans even with the developed linguistics skills.

The oral gesture theory however proposes an extremely specific connection between physical and oral
gesture. It is claimed that originally a set of physical gestures was developed as a means of
communication then a set of oral gestures, specifically involving mouth, developed in which the
movements of tongue, lips and so on are involved.
