Abstract
He present article examines gestures of speakers in pieces of screen (scenes from the fiction film “Courbeau” and also from documentary material) produced during the Vichy period in France. The analysis is conducted in accordance with the functional and communicative approach to gestures within the theory of A. Cienki and C. Müller. The main hypothesis put forward lies in the following: professional actors tend to prefer pragmatic gestures whereas documentary characters use mainly self-adapters.
