ABSTRACT

A generous amount of space has been given in Your Move to the topics of motion and destination since the ideas, particularly of motion, are not always familiar. The general ideas are familiar, but specific application is not. Motion could be said to be either ‘non-arrival’ in relation to a specific spatial point, a person or object, or departure from a previous situation with no stated degree of distance of travel. The fact that motion can be of two kinds is confusing to students, particularly in relation to gestures. The two possibilities are more easily understood in relation to walking.
