Document Summary
We will work up to the phenomena of co-speech gesture. Elements of communication that don"t involve language specifically. Notion of channels of communication: vocal auditory (speech) or manual-visual (sign) Standing features of interaction: appearance, clothes, bodily adornment. Broader aspects of body language : proxemics, haptics. Eyes and faces: attentional cueing and eye gaze, emotional expression, audiovisual integration in speech processing. Appearance, clothes, bodily adornment: what the individual chooses to wear conveys something, choice of wearing jewelry, lipstick or tattoos etc, list of things that count as interactions. What do/can these communicate : do they, how do they communicate, what do clothes communicate or signal. Personal affiliations: person perceiving message must know what signal represents ie. clothes value; brand, what is being communicated is very course. Standing features because they are static, don"t change in course of interaction. Proxemics refers to parameters for spacing between individuals or for rules governing touch.
