AB - This paper aims to show iconic gestures of Korean speakers by analyzing hand gestures of TV discussion program participants. Iconic gestures can be divided into three cases: when referring to an object through the form or shape of the object, when referring to an object through the object-related act, and when the speakers act according to the event they are talking about. To effectively refer to the object the speakers are describing, they show the aspect of the object by using hands or fingers or makes gestures to demonstrate how to deal with the object. Moreover, the speaker imitates the movement of the figures appearing in the story or makes gestures changing the perspective to explain the scenes of the story. Most of the time, they make such gestures without being aware of what they are doing. These iconic gestures facilitate the efficient understanding of the audience or listeners by referring to the object and effectively expressing the situation of the event.
