Among the kinds of social gestures most significant .for second-language teachers are those whichare (26) in form but different .in meaning in the two cultures. For example, a Columbian who wants someone to (27) him often signals with a hand movement in which all the fingers of one hand, Cupped, point dowriward as they move rapidly (28) Speakers of English have a similar gesture though the hand may not be cupped .and the fingers may be held moreloosely, but for them the gesture means goodbye or go away, quite the (29) of the Columbian gestare. Again, in Columbia, a speaker of English would have to know that when he (30) height he must choose between different gestures depending on whether he is (31) a human being oran animal.If he keeps the palm of the hand (32) the floor, as he would in his own culture when making known the height of a child,for example,he will very likely be greeted by laughter,in Columbia this gestureis(33) for the description of animals. In order to describe human beings he should keepthe palm of his hand (34)to the floor. Substitutions of one gesture for the other oftenc reate not only humorous but also (35) moments. In both of the examples above,speakers from two different cultures have the same gesture, physically, but its meaning differs sharply.
