PRAGMATICS AND NON-VERBAL
COMMUNICATION
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. This book redresses the
balance, providing a unique examination of non-verbal behav-
iours from a pragmatic perspective. It charts a point of contact
between pragmatics, linguistics, philosophy, cognitive science,
ethology and psychology, and provides the analytical basis to
answer some important questions: How are non-verbal behav-
iours interpreted? What do they convey? How can they be best
accommodated within a theory of utterance interpretation?
