Some times why do we use our body parts to describe an object
Answers
Answer:
Body part as an object mime gestures occurs when a mime artist or other individual substitutes a part of their body - usually arms, fingers, or hands - to be part of an object they are miming.[1] Miming uses representational gestures, meaning they are used to convey a message to others without the use of speech.[1][2][3] A commonly used example of BPO miming is demonstrated by an individual using their finger to represent a toothbrush while acting out brushing their teeth.[4]
In studying gestures from a psychological, psycholinguistic, and/or neuropsychological context, pantomimes can be distinguished by how they are carried out. For example, BPO mime gestures are differentiated by the insertion of a body part to help represent the object itself.[1] Conversely, Imaginary object (IO) pantomimes occur when an individual mimes the use of an object as though the object were actually present. Using a similar example to above, an IO pantomime occurs as an individual pretends to brush their teeth by positioning the hand and fingers as though the toothbrush were actually in their hand: they are pretending the object is actually present.[4]
