The Sourcebook of Nonverbal Measures:Going Beyond Words
The Sourcebook of Nonverbal Measures provides a comprehensive discussion of research choices for investigating nonverbal phenomena. The volume presents many of the primary means by which researchers assess nonverbal cues. Editor Valerie Manusov has collected both well-established and new measures used in researching nonverbal behaviors, illustrating the broad spectrum of measures appropriate for use in research, and providing a critical resource for future studies.
Speech introduces students to the speech and communication skills that will benefit them forever. The textbook covers a wide range of topics including debate, presentations, interpersonal skills, nonverbal communication, interviewing, and speeches.
The way we say the words we say helps us convey our intended meanings. Indeed, the tone of voice we use, the facial expressions and bodily gestures we adopt while we are talking, often add entirely new layers of meaning to those words. How the natural non-verbal properties of utterances interact with linguistic ones is a question that is often largely ignored.
After the many interdisciplinary perspectives on nonverbal communication offered by the author in his previous seven John Benjamins books, which have generated a wide range of scholarly applications, the present monograph is dominated by a very broad concept of translation.
This is a practical guide to understanding and investigating the multiple modes of communication, verbal and non-verbal. It sets out clear methodology to help readers conduct their own analysis, equipping them with the tools to analyse situations from different perspectives. Drawing on research into conversational analysis and non-verbal behaviour such as body movement and gaze, it also considers the role of the material world in our interactions, exploring how we use space and objects - such as our furniture and clothes - to express ourselves.
