This study investigates the differences in speech-accompanying gestures between Chinese speakers using their first language (L1) and English as a second language (L2) across varying proficiency levels. It finds that advanced L2 speakers tend to produce more iconic and beat gestures for emphasis, while less proficient speakers rely more on deictic gestures.
