SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Paralanguage and kinesics define the tripartite nature of speech. Volume II 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 princ.
