Face-to-face dialogue is both audible and visible, combining speech and co-speech gestures. Co-speech hand gestures include hands, arms, or shoulders. Co-speech facial gestures include facial configurations as well as movements or positions of the head and gaze. It is essential to distinguish between co-speech gestures and nonverbal communication. Nonverbal communication is by definition any behavior or state that is independent of speech; it is often characterized as a separate channel of information. In contrast, co-speech gestures are by definition closely synchronized with speech in both their timing and their meaning. The meaning of a nonverbal communication relies on expert inference or ratings by other observers and is usually about attitudes, feelings, personality, and other characteristics of an individual. The meaning of a co-speech act is what it explicitly portrays to the person to whom it is addressed in the context of the immediately accompanying words and ongoing conversation. |
