• There is currently no consensus regarding the frequency and purpose of gesture use in monolingual and bilingual children. The present study analyzes the gesture use of English monolingual, Mandarin-English bilingual, and French-English bilingual children as they retell a story from a silent Pink Panther cartoon. Our aim is to compare the rates and purpose of their gestures and determine the factors that may be contributing to variable results in previous research.
