Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the topic of non-verbal communication in the context of research on Generation Z. Using a survey method, the familiarity and meaning of three gestures: essa, UwU and dab were analysed. The aim of the article is to find out whether these signs are known to Generation Z, to identify the linguistic exponents of these gestures and to decide whether the lexical-semantic content associated with the individual gestures is common to Generation Z. On the basis of the survey, it was possible to establish that these gestures are known to Generation Z, the representatives of this group are able to name them, describe their meaning and, moreover, they have a high generational awareness.
