ABSTRACT
The present volume is the outcome of a symposium on Gestures, Cultures and Communication, held in May 1982 at Victoria College, University of Toronto. This conference, one of a series of five colloquia which took place during the Third International Summer Institute for Semiotic and Structural Studies, was organized by the Toronto Semiotic Circle. It grew out of an earlier meeting, held in 1980, during the first International Summer Institute, on the Neurological Basis of Signs in Communication Processes, whose proceedings were published in 1981 by the Toronto Semiotic Circle.
