Abstract:

The human body is a primary source of meaning-making, with the body conveying
over two-thirds of our messages. But how can we understand these physical
communicative cues? How are they being expressed and exploited in new media
and multimodal online and mobile interaction?

Offering an in-depth guide to help you investigate and understand real and
virtual nonverbal communication using semiotic theory, this book assumes
little previous knowledge of semiotics or linguistics. With in-depth,
comparative case studies, each chapter deals with a traditional aspect of
nonverbal communication, such as facial expressions, touch, and gesture,
before extending the discussion to new media and cyberspace.

Explaining the issues step by step and supported by exercises, directed
further reading and a glossary of key terms, "Understanding Nonverbal
Communication" provides you with all the tools you need to understand how
nonverbal communication unfolds in all kinds of contexts, and the kinds of
messages that it makes possible.
