Both non-verbal communication and gender play an important role in the clinical encounter. They not only affect the impact of the diagnosis, but also patient outcomes such as satisfaction and appointment-keeping. Dominance or power asymmetries in the providerȓpatient interaction have been assumed to affect the relationship, but have rarely been studied. This chapter gives an overview of the empirical findings pertaining to non-verbal communication, gender, and power within the patient-clinician interaction; shows how gender, non-verbal communication, and power are intertwined; and offers guidance about communication skills training to help physicians and improve outcomes for cancer patients.Less

This introductory chapter begins with a brief discussion of the fluent, coherent, and complete nature of character-speech in Homer. It then introduces the means by which this discourse will be examined: discourse analysis, conversation analysis, cognitive psychology (which provides a framework for studying ‘scripted’ routines, both behavioural scripts and, as argued here, verbal scripts), and sociolinguistics (especially on the question of language and gender). Finally, there is some discussion of non-verbal signals, to which verbal communication often responds, and on which it is very often dependent.Less

This chapter also analyses comments made in Chapter 16. It considers the similarities and differences between Bharucha, Curtis, and Paroo's notion of alignment in music and the notion of alignment in verbal communication that has been recently developed within psycholinguistics. Psycholinguistic research sheds light on underlying mechanisms of alignment that may also be applicable to music, at least in some contexts. It also suggests methodologies that could be adapted to empirically investigate musical alignment. It begins by sketching out a psycholinguistic approach to communication and alignment.Less

Social mechanisms are systems of parts whose connections enable them to interact in ways that produce regular changes. In the social world, the main parts are individual people, but parts can also be groups formed out of those individuals. The interactions between individuals and groups are primarily verbal and nonverbal communication but can also include purely physical acts such as fighting and the inferences that people make about each other. There are many kinds of verbal communication using speaking and writing, and even more kinds of nonverbal communication by seeing, hearing, touching, smelling, and moving. Interactions between people can occur in pairs or in larger groups where communication links multiple people. Semantic pointers suggest a novel way of understanding communication that accommodates both verbal and nonverbal processes.Less

This chapter addresses the question as to how depression as a homogeneous affective state correlates with changes in behavior of the nonverbal repertoire and investigates the notion of a dissociation of coordinated behavior as a characteristic of psychoses. Evidence was found for a tendency of the nonverbal behavior to dissociate from verbal communication in psychoses. The individual specificity of behavioral changes found in depressed patients points to an inconsistency with regard to the universality of expressive behavior.Less

This chapter reviews current evidence on mirroring in an attempt to identify what the mirror system can and cannot do for embodied communication. It asks what mirroring does and does not buy us, discussing its role in understanding and predicting others' behaviour, and in creating emotional bonds with others. More sophisticated social interactions that involve imitation, joint attention, joint action, mind reading, or verbal communication require additional cognitive mechanisms. This chapter specifies how different cognitive functions could control and interact with mirroring in order to enable these social skills.Less

This chapter analyzes how the experiences of Maghrebi migrant women in France are conveyed through feature films and considers the extent to which these films encourage spectators to come to a better understanding of the women’s experiences and appreciate their respective points of view. It analyzes a wide range of techniques used in the films, from those that could be considered the most ‘verbal’ in the traditional sense of the word (such as interior monologue voiceover and verbal exchanges) to those that are entirely non-verbal (including body language and non-verbal sounds). While the spoken words of first-generation women have the potential to provide significant insight into the women’s experiences, this is not always the case, nor do a woman’s words necessarily invite spectators to identify with her point of view. Words also have the potential to be misunderstood or not understood at all – for example, when there is a language barrier – and this can inhibit communication. Non-verbal tools can provide an effective channel through which the women’s voices can be communicated, regardless of differences in age, language, or culture between the characters and the implied spectators. Works examined include films by Yamina Benguigui, Mehdi Charef, and Bourlem Guerdjou.Less

The hypothesis that patients with aphasia suffer from general “asymbolia” that equally affects verbal and non-verbal expression predicts that communicative gestures deteriorate in parallel with aphasia, but empirical evidence suggests that gesture and speech can dissociate and that communalities are due rather to their interaction than to their common fundament. In patients with highly reduced verbal output, the diversity and comprehensibility of gestures produced in attempts to retell short video-clips correlates with scores on pantomime of tool use as well as with a test of semantic matching. Arguably the basic difficulty for production of speech replacing gestures concerns the selection and combination of significant features out of the multitude of properties associated with objects and actions.Less

The importance of emotion in everyday interactions has been acknowledged by researchers in a wide variety of disciplines, including linguistics, sociology, social psychology, anthropology, and communication. This book offers a collection of original studies that explore emotion in naturally occurring spoken interaction. The chapters examine both the verbal and non-verbal resources for expressing emotional stance (lexicon, syntax, prosody, laughter, crying, facial expression), the emotional aspects of action sequences (e.g. news delivery and conflicts), and the role of emotions in institutional interaction (museums and galleries, psychotherapy, medical interaction and helpline calls). What unites the chapters is an understanding of the expression of emotion and the construction of emotional stances as a process that both shapes and is shaped by the interactional context. The chapters analyze how emotion is expressed and how its expression is responsive to the interactional context and embedded in sequences of action and structures of social interaction. The expression of emotion is constructed and managed as a collaborative process by the participants in interaction. The chapters here demonstrate how the sequential organization of action forms the key relevant unit for analyzing emotion in interaction: displays of emotion are located at specific sequential positions in interaction, and they are interpreted and responded to by reference to that context of occurrence.Less

This chapter aims to provide a general review of factors that can lead to honest false testimony by either party in cases involving disputed sexual consent. First, it reviews the ambiguous nature of sexual communication—that is, communication that often takes place indirectly, in ways that allow for multiple interpretations of meaning (via hints, non-verbal communication, and lack of resistance vs explicit consent). Second, it discusses the vagaries of remembering consent interactions. Given the ambiguity of initial consent interactions and the context in which they are recalled, memory can be distorted such that each party honestly remembers the interaction differently. Third, it considers the implications of intoxication during disputed sexual encounters. Collectively, these factors pave the way for misinterpretation, miscommunication, and false ‘gist’ (or fully fabricated) memories of consent interactions—a state of affairs that can lead both parties to report honest, but completely different, accounts of the events.Less

Research on music performance as creative practice includes the study of rehearsal and preparation for performance. This chapter investigates creativity as demonstrated both by the individual members of small groups of two to five musicians rehearsing western classical (i.e. notated) music, and between the members of each group. Rehearsal activities—what actually happens when people play and/or sing together—depend on numerous factors, including the group’s goals not only for rehearsal but also for performance, the size of the group, the genre of the music, the performers’ expertise as individual and ensemble musicians, and the length of time available for rehearsal. Long-established groups may prepare for performances by drawing on years of experience, but there are also many examples of ‘instant’, temporary groups or partnerships that have much more limited rehearsal time. Creativity in rehearsal is discussed particularly in the context of research with singer–pianist duos of differing levels of expertise and familiarity, exploring their use of verbal and nonverbal communication and musical behaviours in single rehearsals and series of rehearsals, and with three ensembles made up of student musicians who produced practice diaries.Less

This chapter looks at James, a man now in his sixties, whose Möbius has been a constant influence, despite its presence being hidden from him for many years. He only found out his diagnosis about ten years previously. James was late going to school and yet ten years later had won a place at Cambridge University. Despite these considerable achievements, he relates a somewhat similar experience to Celia in that he has spent much of his time in a life of the mind. Now he is exploring how the further he is in his body, the closer he is to the world and to others.Less

This chapter examines several aspects of batá pedagogy, focusing on the role of non-lexical verbal communication, the spatial relationships among the performers, and the micro- and macrostructures of the musical system. First, it examines the relationship between the okónkolo and the iyá, and draws on the associations between the okónkolo and mythology of the orisha Eleguá. The chapter then examines the macrostructure of the musical system, comparing the order in which toques are invariably played during the oro igbodú to the mythological stories of the warriors Eleguá, Ogún, and Ochosi. It is shown that many of the skills developed on the okónkolo are vital to learning the itótele. After these are examined, the chapter discusses the role of spatial relationships between the performers and the microstructure of the musical system simultaneously to illustrate the communication between the iyá and the itótele.Less
This chapter examines several aspects of batá pedagogy, focusing on the role of non-lexical verbal communication, the spatial relationships among the performers, and the micro- and macrostructures of the musical system.

This chapter presents a number of essays which look at the issue of the ethnicity of Jewish people. The first essay compares the historical experiences of Jewish communities in different countries and different periods. The second one examines the divisive role of ethnicity among the Jewish people in the 1920s through analysis of the case of Russian-born writer Moissaye Olgin's step towards communism. The third looks at the analytic value of ethnicity focusing on intermarriage, group blending and ethnic group strength in immigrant Jewish societies in the U.S. The next describes verbal communication of American Jews based on the result of a 2008 sociolinguistic survey. The following essay examines the relationship between identity and ethnicity as phenomena and concepts, focusing on the experiences of Jews in the U.S. Another examines a plural dimensional aspect of ethnic research on Jews. The seventh essay examines the usefulness of the ethnicity concept in studying Jews. The last one presents research concerning Jewish ethnicity and the application of the concept of ethnicity in the study of the Jewish experience.Less
