References and Index

This book, Silent Talk: Nonverbal Communication, is intended for the benefit of the students of linguistics, literature and adjacent sciences, such as psychology, anthropology, sociology, business administration and speech pathology who would like to know something more about the aspects of nonverbal communication than provided in their respective courses. Throughout the book I have made attempts to relate these aspects to Indian contexts.

The book is divided into six chapters, focusing on the definition and scope of nonverbal communication, proxemics and nonverbal communication, use and function of eye and face in nonverbal communication, use and function of language and silence in nonverbal communication, gesture, and the use and function of nonverbal communication in the differently abled individuals.

Keywords: nonverbal communication, nonverbal behavior, proxemics, eye and face communication, language and silence, nonverbal communication and abnormality, nonverbal communication and differently-abled

The book was originally published by the Central Institute of Indian Languages in the year 1987.
