People with aphasia (PWA) face significant challenges in verbally expressing their communicative intentions. Different types of gestures are produced spontaneously by PWA, and a potentially compensatory function of these gestures has been discussed. The current study aimed to investigate how much information PWA communicate through 3 types of gesture and the communicative effectiveness of such gestures.
Listeners without language impairment rated the information content of short video clips taken from PWA in conversation. Listeners were asked to rate communication within a speech-only condition and a gesture + speech condition.
The results revealed that the participants' interpretations of the communicative intentions expressed in the clips of PWA were significantly more accurate in the gesture + speech condition for all tested gesture types.
It was concluded that all 3 gesture types under investigation contributed to the expression of semantic meaning communicated by PWA. Gestures are an important communicative means for PWA and should be regarded as such by their interlocutors. Gestures have been shown to enhance listeners' interpretation of PWA's overall communication.
失语症患者（PWA）在口头表达其交流意图时面临重大挑战。PWA会自发产生不同类型的手势，并且已经讨论了这些手势可能具有的补偿功能。本研究旨在调查PWA通过3种手势传达了多少信息以及此类手势的交流效果。
没有语言障碍的听众对PWA对话中的短视频片段的信息内容进行评分。要求听众在仅语音条件和手势+语音条件下对交流进行评分。
结果显示，对于所有测试的手势类型，在手势+语音条件下，参与者对PWA片段中表达的交流意图的解读明显更准确。
得出的结论是，所研究的所有3种手势类型都有助于PWA传达的语义表达。手势是PWA的一种重要交流方式，其对话者应予以认可。研究表明，手势可增强听众对PWA整体交流的解读。
