| Abstract | ||
| This study looks at the frequent gestures used in TV programs and how people understand gestures of TV presenters in Kurdish media. It investigates if age and ethnicity influence the viewpoint of people regarding gesture interpretation. The study used different methods. First, 20 gestures were picked out and categorized using a theoretical framework. Then, 70 people from Kurdish, Arabic, and Turkmen groups, with different age groups, were selected to participate in the survey. The results showed that while there were some common understandings, the manner in which gestures were understood by people changed depending on their socio-cultural origins. The study revealed that gestures play a highly significant role in communication platforms. It also highlights that understanding different cultures is key to communicating effectively with diverse audiences | ||
