| Abstract | The phrase "walk like an Egyptian" comes from an American pop song of the same name performed in the 1980s by a pop-music group, the Bangles. Upon hearing the song (or song title), high school students in California in 2002 immediately know what to do: they adopt a stereotypical twodimensional "profile" position with arms extended, elbows and wrists bent at right angles, one arm up, one down. With alternate knees lifting and bending (also at right angles), they walk while rhythmically jerking their heads forward and back. |
