Answer 2

Answer:

The Gesture theory of language origin is developed by Wilhelm Wundt and Sir Richard Paget

Explanation:

The Gesture theory

This school of thought holds that language emerges from gesture. Wilhelm Wundt and Sir Richard Paget developed and advanced this theory.

Gesture theorists believe that primitive people communicated with one another through hand gestures, and that language-equivalents eventually replaced these gestures.

Sir Percy Nunn fully develops his theory in his book Education, its Data, and First Principles, and Macdonald Critchley discusses it in depth in his book The Language of Gesture.

They appear to be pointing out that when saying

1. 'I' and'me,' the lips are drawn inwards, as if hinting at the speaker,
2. when saying 'you' and 'thou,' the lips are drawn outwards, as if hinting at the person addressed
3. Similarly, the lips are drawn inwards and thrown outwards when saying 'here' and 'there.'

Therefore, the correct option is - B) The gesture theory.
