Religious and spiritual gestures are also common, such as the Christian sign of the cross.

In linguistic terms, sign languages are as rich and complex as any oral language, despite the common misconception that they are not "real languages". Professional linguists have studied many sign languages and found them to have every linguistic component required to be classed as true languages. Sign languages are not pantomime, and they are not a visual rendition of an oral language. They have rich, complex grammars of their own, and can be used to discuss any topic, fr ...

In contrast to imaginary antecedent, an imaginary consequent is a conclusion known to be false, fictional, or unconditional. In a conditional statement, a fictional conclusion is known as a non sequitur, which literally means 'out of sequence.' A conclusion that is out of sequence is not contingent upon a premise it does not follow, so such a sequence is not conditional. A conditional sequence is a connected series of statements, so an imaginary consequent cannot follow from true premises in a connected sequence. But, an ...

Gesture is a typical component of spoken languages. More elaborate systems of manual communication have developed in situations where speech is not practical or permitted, such as cloistered religious communities, scuba diving, television recording studios, loud workplaces, while hunting (see Kalahari bushmen) or in the game Charades. Recently, there has been a movement to teach and encourage the use of sign language with toddlers before they learn to talk and with non-hearing-impaired children with other causes of sp ...

Real consequents may also follow from imaginary sources, when a real object names an imaginary source that cannot be denied. Often times this arises in the roles people play. Acting is a profession which employs fictional premises for real jobs. Charades is a game people play for guessing imaginary objects. Imaginary personalities and histories are sometimes invented to enhance the verisimilitude of fictional universes, for the purposes of immersion and role-playing games. In the sense that they exist independently of extant personalities and histories, they are believ ...
