Nonverbal Communication across Disciplines

Volume 2: Paralanguage, kinesics, silence, personal and environmental interaction

By: Fernando Poyatos

Paralanguage and kinesics define the tripartite nature of speech. Volume 2 builds on Poyatos’ book Paralanguage (1993) – reviewed by Mary Key as “the most amplified description of paralanguage available today”. It covers our basic voice components; the many normal or abnormal voice types; the communicative uses of physiological and emotional reactions like laughter, crying, sighing, coughing, sneezing, etc.; and word-like utterances beyond the official dictionary. Kinesics is viewed from interactive, intercultural and cross-cultural, and literary perspectives, with much needed research principles for the realistic study of gestures, manners and postures in their intersystemic links. Applications are given in the social or clinical sciences, intercultural communication, literature, painting, theater and cinema, etc. Related to both paralanguage and kinesics are the many eloquent sounds produced bodily, by manipulated objects and by the environment. A discussion of silence and stillness as opposed to sound and movement and related to darkness and light, shows their true interactive status, coding, functions, qualifiers, intersystemic co-structurations, positive and negative functions, and cross-cultural attitudes toward silence. The first two volumes are then brought together in a detailed model for studying our interactions with people and the environment, including certain emitting and transmitting congenital or traumatic limitations.1608 quotations from 133 authors and 216 works vividly illustrate all topics.

Nonverbal Communication Across Disciplines: Narrative literature, theater, cinema, translation

By: Fernando Poyatos

In a progressive and systematic approach to communication, and always through an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspective, this first volume presents culture as an intricate grid of sensible and intelligible sign systems in space and time, identifying the semiotic and interactive problems inherent in intercultural and subcultural communication according to verbal-nonverbal cultural fluency. The author lays out fascinating complexity of our direct and synesthesial sensory perception of people and artifactual and environmental elements; and its audible and visual manifestations through our speaking face , to then acknowledge the triple reality of discourse as verbal language-paralanguage-kinesics , which is applied through two realistic models: (a)for a verbal-nonverbal comprehensive transcription of interactive speech, and (b)for the implementation of nonverbal communication in foreign-language teaching. The author presents his exhaustive model of nonverbal categories for a detailed analysis of normal or pathological behaviors in any interactive or noninteractive manifestation; and, based on all the previous material, his equally exhaustive structural model for the study of conversational encounters, which suggests many applications in different fields, such as the intercultural and multisystem communication situation developed in simultaneous or consecutive interpretating. 956 literary quotations from 103 authors and 194 works illustrate all the points discussed.

Nonverbal Communication Across Disciplines

By: Fernando Poyatos

The interdisciplinary field of Nonverbal Communication Studies is covered in these three volumes in a great variety of aspects, including sensory exchanges, intercultural communication and problems, and the deeper levels of personal as well as person-environment interactions. Taking roots in anthropology, psychology and sociology, the author provides a unique compilation of approaches to communication, integrating language and literature, speech analysis, voice phenomena (paralanguage), gestures, manners and postures (kinesics), silence, non-bodily and environmental sounds, etc., and the temporal aspects of interaction (chronemics).This work offers a wealth of materials for different research fields and professions to which communication is central: language teaching, translation and interpreting, publicity, literature, theater and cinema, and the helping professions. Over 3700 literary illustrative quotations from hundreds of authors constitute a virtual treatise on nonverbal communication in literature.Fernando Poyatos, besides teaching Nonverbal Communication in the departments of Anthropology, Psychology and Sociology of his university, has lectured in many others in over twenty countries, organized international symposiums, and spoken to specialists, in different disciplines. Here he offers the most interdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspective in the field.

The author lays out fascinating complexity of our direct and synesthesial sensory perception of people and artifactual and environmental elements; and its audible and visual manifestations through our ‘speaking face’, to then acknowledge the triple reality of discourse as ‘verbal language-paralanguage-kinesics’, which is applied through two realistic models: (a)for a verbal-nonverbal comprehensive transcription of interactive speech, and (b)for the implementation of nonverbal communication in foreign-language teaching. The author presents his exhaustive model of ‘nonverbal categories’ for a detailed analysis of normal or pathological behaviors in any interactive or noninteractive manifestation; and, based on all the previous material, his equally exhaustive structural model for the study of conversational encounters, which suggests many applications in different fields, such as the intercultural and multisystem communication situation developed in simultaneous or consecutive interpretating. 956 literary quotations from 103 authors and 194 works illustrate all the points discussed.
