The gesture of moving his right hand forward while highlighting an important point is an example of an illustrator gesture, which is a gesture that helps illustrate or clarify the verbal message being conveyed. Emblems are gestures that have a direct verbal translation, manipulators are self-touching gestures that signal anxiety or discomfort, and proxemes refer to the spatial relationships between people and objects.
