Former library copy, therefore library characteristics such as stamps and stickers, cover also with signs of wear and endpapers slightly foxed, sporadic markings. - This handbook of Colombian and U.S. gestures derived originally from the ex- perience of the authors during their terms as Fulbright lecturers in Columbia, 1960 to 1962. After a first impression that Colombians used body movements as an accompaniment to and sometimes as a substitute for verbal communication much more frequently than people from the U.S., we began to observe gestures more systematically and soon noted that many gestures were the same in phy- sical movement and meaning for Colombians and for people from the U.S. while other gestures seemed unique to each group, and still others were the same in physical movement for each group but different in meaning. It was the gestures in the last category, whose misinterpretation could so easily lead to misunder- standing (e.g. a lecturer from the U.S. was discussing the stages of language learning and when he said that children of five already control a good deal of their native language, his Colombian audience laughed; his gesture for indicating the height of the children had been arm extended with palm facing down, and in Colombia this gesture is used when referring to the size of animals, not humans), that led us to prepare an inventory of the more obvious gestures used by Colom- bians and people from the U.S. as an aid to the English teachers with whom we were working.
