BODY ENGLISH examines fifty common North American gestures and the idiomatic language that describes those gestures. Each of the book's ten units focus on five gestures and expressions that relate to a specific part of the human body. Each unit of Body English contains these sections: A Reading presents the idioms and explains the functions of the target gestures. Illustrations enhance understanding by showing the gestures in context. Cognitively-based Exercises provide ample practice for mastering the idioms and functions. Stimulating Discussion questions increase comprehension and invite cultural comparisons. Additional practice is offered through Review sections, a General Test, a Notional Index, and an Alphabetical Index of Expressions with Verb Forms. Body English is a valuable resource for students and professionals seeking a deeper understanding of the culture, language, and body language of English-speaking North Americans.
