Abstract

This book demonstrates that silence is eloquent, powerful, beautiful and even dangerous. It surrounds and permeates our daily lives. Drawing on a wide range of cross-cultural, literary and historical sources, the author explores the uses and abuses of silence. He explains how silence is not associated with solitude alone but has a much broader value within society.The main themes of The Power of Silence are positive and negative uses of silence, and the various ways in which silence has been understood culturally, socially and spiritually. The book's objectives are to equip people with a better appreciation of the value of silence and to enable them to explore its benefits and uses more easily for themselves.

Abstract

Gesture is integral to human language. Its function within human communication is as much goal-directed, and subsequently as communicative, as is speech. Indeed, gesture and speech share the same cognitive, psychological and physiological roots. Although the study of gesture has reached maturity as a branch of scholarship which endorses a multidisciplinary approach to communication, and is now integral to many of the sciences (psychology, psycholinguistics and ethnology, among others), little attention has been paid in recent years to the phenomena involved - the communicative function of gest

Abstract

Doelstelling: Een tolk wordt in toenemende mate beoordeeld op non-verbale communicatie en presentatie in consecutieve tolkprestaties. Deze verkennende casestudy wil nagaan in welke mate non-verbale communicatie de algemene beoordeling van een tolkprestatie door een student beïnvloedt. Bovendien wil deze studie nagaan welke non-verbale elementen hierbij als positief dan wel als negatief worden ervaren en hoe die de geloofwaardigheid en de professionaliteit van de student-tolk (kunnen) aantasten. Middelen of methode: Er werden vier opnames gemaakt van tolkstudenten uit het Postgraduaat Conferentietolken van de Hogeschool Gent. De opnames werden vervolgens getranscribeerd en besproken. Er werd ook een enquête afgenomen bij tolkdocenten van de vijf Vertaal-en Tolkscholen in Vlaanderen waarbij de respondenten zowel louter visuele als audiovisuele fragmenten moesten beoordelen. Resultaten: Uit analyse van dit beperkt onderzoek bleek dat non-verbale communicatie vandaag de dag inderdaad een prominente rol inneemt bij de beoordeling van consecutieve tolkprestaties. Non-verbale communicatie geassocieerd met stress, onzekerheid of subjectiviteit beïnvloedde de geloofwaardigheid en professionaliteit van de tolk in negatieve zin. Ook het gebrek aan non-verbale communicatie had een negatieve impact op de beoordeling van de tolkprestatie. Non-verbale communicatie als ondersteuning van verbale communicatie, daarentegen, droeg positief bij tot de professionaliteit en geloofwaardigheid van de tolk.

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. '...the theoretical framework that they do provide for the experiments reported in the second half of the book is one of the m

Abstract

Toen ik gedurende de oorlog een boekje 'spreken is zilver' publiceerde, dat later tot een groter boek uitgroeide over 'Communication and Conversation', besefte ik nog niet hoe veeltalig het zwijgen kan zijn. Eigenlijk begon deze studie als een opstandige grap, toen ik in de Verenigde Staten uitgenodigd werd om voor een computerfirma een lezing naar eigen keuze te houden over iets wat met communicatie te maken had. Toen mij tijdens de discussie werd gevraagd waarom ik de 'psychologie van het zwijgen' had uitgekozen, was mijn simpele antwoord 'omdat men juist deze communicatie niet in de computer kan steken'. Er waart dus door deze opstellen een vooroordeel tegen machines rond. Ook besef ik dat met deze paar opstellen het onderwerp nog lang niet is uitgeput, maar op een gegeven ogenblik moet de schrijver opteren voor het zwijgen. Waar het woord ophoudt, vangt het zwijgen aan.

Abstract

How effective would your communication be if every other word you said was eliminated? (How...would...communication...if...other... you... was...?) Not very effective? Studies show that well over half of your message can be carried through nonverbal elements-your appearance, your body language, and the tone and pace of your voice. You could use powerful, clearly understood words; you could have excellent listening skills; you could be an expert with feedback...but if you don't understand nonverbal communication, your communication might be less effective than you would like. This 21-page E-report will help you understand how to create a powerful nonverbal message that will support your verbal content. You will learn how to interpret and use body language to deliver the message you intend and how to project a vocal quality that matches your message. Topics covered include: Five body language gestures Interpreting twelve gesture clusters Various ways to use body language Seven major vocal qualities Twelve common emotions communicated in voice qualities Five ways to develop an assured voiceAn awareness of the subtle nuances of body language and vocal behavior is critical if you want to be more aware of what you are communicating to others and what they are communicating to you. The payoff seems well worth the effort.
