| Description: | This paper describes a gesture from the native speakers’ pragmatic knowledge with the aim of understanding its uses in face to face communication in Costa Rican speech. The analysis is done using the classification of gestures exposed by Knapp (1982); methodologically, the speakers’ information was taken using a semi open online questionnaire. Among the results, it should be pointed out that the studied gesture is used in different contexts, and appears in different categories with diverse functions. The study contributes to the knowledge of non-verbal elements for the class of Spanish as a foreign language (ELE) in the Costa Rican Context. |
