But there are other possible interpretations,too.Another example:when a student in conversation with a professor holds the older man's eyes a little longer than is usual,(50)_________;it can be a challenge to the professor's authority;it can be something else entirely.The researchers look for patterns in the situation,not for a separate meaningful gesture.
