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
behaviours 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 behaviours
interpreted? What do they convey? How can they be best accommodated
within a theory of utterance interpretation?
