    "abstract": "How does modality affect our ability to create a new\ncommunication system? This paper describes two\nexperiments that address this question, and extend prior\nrelated findings by drawing from a significantly more\nextensive list of concepts (over 1000) than has been used\npreviously. In Experiment 1, participants communicated\nconcepts to a partner using either gestures or non-linguistic\nvocalizations (sounds that are not words). Experiment 1\nconfirmed that participants who gesture 1) produce more\nstrongly ‘motivated’ signs that physically resemble the\nconcepts they represent (i.e., are iconic), 2) are better able to\ncorrectly guess the meaning of a partner’s signs, and 3) show\nstronger alignment on a shared inventory of signs. Experiment\n2 addressed a limitation of Experiment 1 (concurrent feedback\nonly in the gesture condition). In Experiment 2 concurrent\nfeedback was eliminated from the gesture and vocal\nconditions. Gesture again outperformed vocalization on\ncommunication effectiveness and sign alignment.",
