Rather, it is a motor behavior that often accompanies spoken language, for the purpose of clarifying or confirming it, based on this, this study aims to reveal body language and its semantic purposes in Ibrahim Nasrallah’s making of his narrative speech, which includes eye speech, hand movements, various body shapes, and other things that fall under physical communication.
