Abstract

Three different regional pairs of jugular and facial motions used in Europe for habitual expression of approval and dissent are analyzed with reference to the iconic grounds of these three semiotic oppositions, (semiotics, face-to-face interaction, kinesics, European ethnology.). © 1972, Cambridge University Press.
