I am looking for some article/book that examines the gestures of negation (no) in Egypt. While I know some very good bibliography in Semiotics and the Anthropology of Language - I haven't found anything related. I have done field research in Cairo to collect a sample of gestures, but I need to find some scholarly analysis to compare with my (modest) observations.</div><div><br></div><div>I am also looking for texts which analyze the concept of taboos in Egypt. I know this is more of an Anthropological issue, but maybe some of you who have been working on the Anthropology of Language and can give me an hand.</div><div><br></div><div>Thank you very much in advance.</div><div><br></div><div>If you want you can answer me in private: <a href="mailto:elenacanna@hotmail.com">elenacanna@hotmail.com</a></div><div><br></div><div>Alf shokr! </div><div><br></div><div>Elena</div><div><br></div>--------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>End of Arabic-L: 31 Aug 2010<br></body></html>
