Abstract

A book about how people convey information about themselves and receive information from other people through their behaviour, posture, gestures, facial expressions and tone of voice. Druckman reviews what has been learned about four nonverbal communication channels -- para-language, facial expressions, kinesics, and visual communications. In Part Two he uses a case study to illustrate findings on personal distance, and reports on new research. A final chapter presents a framework that distinguishes situations by their structures: a first step toward linking nonverbal behaviours with their contexts.

Abstract

To understand the role of language in public life and the social process in general, we need first a closer understanding of how linguistic knowledge and social factors interact in discourse interpretation. This volume is a major advance towards that understanding. Professor Gumperz here synthesizes fundamental research on communication from a wide variety of disciplines - linguistics, sociolinguistics, anthropology and non-verbal communication - and develops an original and broadly based theory of conversational inference which shows how verbal communication can serve either between individuals of different social and ethnic backgrounds. The urgent need to overcome such barriers to effective communication is also a central concern of the book. Examples of conversational exchanges as well as of longer encounters, recorded in the urban United States, village Austria, South Asia and Britain, and analyzed to illustrate all aspects of the analytical approach, and to show how subconscious cultural presuppositions can damagingly affect interpretation of intent and judgement of interspeaker attitude. The volume will be of central interest to anyone concerned with communication, whether from a more academic viewpoint or as a professional working, for example, in the fields of interethnic or industrial relations.
