Some researchers say that people tend to gesture less when they articulate abstract rather than physical concepts. The author concludes that we shouldn’t reject the researcher’s claim merely because the correlation they describe doesn’t hold for everyone. This is because some people perceive words that seem to describe something abstract as describing something physical. (The implication is that this differing perception might show that people who don’t seem to fit the general correlation described earlier might be perceiving some “abstract” words as physical.)
The author offers an explanation for why some people don’t fit the general correlation, as part of a defense of the researchers’ claim against criticism that the correlation isn’t universal.
