Abstract
This paper examines physical contact on directive speech acts involving the terms χείρ and γόνυ. The analysis of these situations in the Homeric corpus allows not only to establish the relationship between communicative verbal acts and hand and knee gestures, but also to specify the conditions for this physical contact. Finally, we shall determine to which speech acts χείρ and γόνυ contact is associated and which is their role from the perspective of politeness and impoliteness.
