infant "sign"

[Chris Boyatzis]

Greetings,

Among the many other sources being suggested, I recommend the special issue
of Journal of Nonverbal Behavior that I edited in 2000 (vol. 24, no.
2).  It is devoted to gesture and development, and has 5 articles of
original work.  Several of these will be of interest to you.

Be of good cheer,
Chris Boyatzis
