Some pragmatic functions of conversational facial gestures1
Conversational facial gestures are not emotional expressions ( Ekman, 1997 ). Facial gestures are co-speech gestures – configurations of the face, eyes, and/or head that are synchronized with words and other co-speech gestures. Facial gestures are the most frequent facial actions in dialogue, and the majority serve pragmatic (meta-communicative) rather than referential functions. A qualitative microanalysis of a close-call story illustrates three…
Visible Acts of Meaning
The authors propose that dialogue in face-to-face interaction is both audible and visible; language use in this setting includes visible acts of meaning such as facial displays and hand gestures. Several criteria distinguish these from other nonverbal acts: (a) They are sensitive to a sender-receiver relationship in that they are less likely to occur when an addressee will not see them, (b) they are analogically encoded symbols, (c) their meaning…
Interactive gestures
Illustrators are hand gestures made during conversation. Following Bavelas, Hagen, Lane, and Lawrie (1989), we propose a new division of illustrators, into topic and interactive gestures. Interactive gestures refer to the interlocutor rather than to the topic of conversation, and they help maintain the conversation as a social system. They subsume but are not limited to the category previously called beats or batons. Three tests of this theory ar…

Truths, Lies, and Equivocations
This article proposes a situational and discourse-oriented view of a particular class of messages, equivocations, that have usually been dismissed as ineffective or even deceptive. We distinguish between-and measure independently- what a message says (whether it is true or false) and how it is said (whether it is clear or equivocal), and we propose that the nature of the communicative situation determines the position of messages on these two coo…

How people disqualify
Disqualification is nonstraightforward communication — messages that say something without really saying it. The four experiments described here examined whether naive, normal individuals might generate disqualified messages. The participants were presented with hypothetical communicative conflicts to which they wrote their own replies. These messages were significantly higher in quantitative measures of disqualification than were the messages wr…
