Gesture as a Constant Factor in Linguistics

Nature volume 158, page 29 (1946)Cite this article

Abstract

IN May 1936, I wrote an article on KU in Chinese, which, through the courtesy of Prof. P. C. Chang, a Chinese philosopher then in London, was passed on to Prof. Y. R. Chao, the philologist, then in Nanking. The words and their meanings were taken from Karlgren's “Analytic Dictionary of Chinese and Sino-Japanese” (1923).
