Perception of Verbal and Non-Verbal Communication in Online Classes of Journalism/Communicology Students in Bosnia and Herzegovina

The interaction between students and lecturers in online classes has changed significantly compared to the interaction in conventional classroom classes. Physical distancing harmed cognitive and social presence in classes due to reduced opportunities for interaction, immediate feedback, and the use of non-verbal communication tools to encourage students to participate in class. The study aims to determine how journalism/communication students in B&H perceive interaction with lecturers in online classes, which is an important element of their cognitive and social presence. A face-to-face survey questionnaire showed that students prefer classroom teaching and that they consider the impossibility of face-to-face communication to be one of the key disadvantages of online teaching. Students are not willing to engage more significantly in online classes, and virtual classrooms they prefer written to oral communication. In online classes, students perceive lecturers as less real. Elements that improve the realization of cognitive and social presence in online classes are an intensification of verbal and non-verbal elements of communication, the use of emoticons, appropriate humor, and personal experiences that contribute to better interaction, a more pleasant teaching atmosphere, and greater concentration on work.

ON THE PROBLEM OF THE FORMATION OF THE OLD RUSSIAN BOOK TOPIC

One of the characteristic features of the poetics of medieval texts is the widespread use of traditional phrases and semantic commonplaces, which have been considered from different positions by medievalists since the beginning of the 20th century. Already in The Tale of Bygone Years (the oldest Russian chronicle) these elements of poetics are clearly revealed, although the genre design of the historical narrative at this early stage is not yet completed. The answer to the question about how the body of topoi was composed and the range of its sources is ambiguous. The article attempts to trace the penetration of a number of stable stylistic formulas into the ancient Russian historical narrative. They should be classified as laconic, non-poetic traditional phrases, devoid of epithets or comparisons that give the statement a certain emotionality. This element of military poetics simultaneously has a clear terminology, formed in a professional military environment, and is based on certain iconic gestures. The work expresses the idea of a connection between such book topoi and kinetic manifestations. These are, first of all, the gestures of princes as leaders of squads, as well as other elements of nonverbal communication. The phenomenon under consideration is only one aspect of the poetics of the military narrative of ancient Russian texts, which arose under the influence of extraliterary reality.

BADIUZZAMAN SAID NURSI'S CONCEPT OF EFFECTIVE DAKWAH COMMUNICATION: A STUDY OF THE 4 ELEMENTS OF NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION

Effective dakwah communication includes verbal and non-verbal communication. A Muslim communicator or a da’include should take into account various dakwah dissemination in this case is the use of non-verbal communicative factors when conveying the message of Islam to ensure effective dakwah communication. According to scholars, the mastery and skills of non-verbal communication by the da’include such as eye contact, facial expressions, gestures, postures, language skills, use of objects and movement of the body language can help in the delivery of a dakwah message more optimally and effectively. In the 21st century, among successful da’include in the field of dakwah is Badiuzzaman Said Nursi. Among the factors of the public’s acceptance of Said Nursi’s preaching is his mastery in the knowledge of rhetoric (persuasion) as well as the knowledge of non-verbal communication, until it spread throughout the world. Thus, this study focuses on the effective dakwah communication of Badiuzzaman Said Nursi specifically in four non-verbal communicative elements, namely kinesic, chronomics, paralinguistics and artifactual. This method of study applied document studies for data collection by applying a content analysis approach to the data analysis process. The results showed that Said Nursi's effective dakwah communication includes at least 4 non-verbal communication coverage, as mentioned above. The findings also found that the experience of Badiuzzaman Said Nursi’s preaching through various communication methods, specifically the 4 elements of non-verbal communication, helped to establish his name as a contemporary figure of dakwah and islah, thus being given the name ‘badiuzzaman’ which means the excellence of time.

A frontoparietal network for volitional control of gaze following.

Gaze following is a major element of non-verbal communication and important for successful social interactions. Human gaze following is a fast and almost reflex-like behavior, yet, it can be volitionally controlled and suppressed to some extent if inappropriate or unnecessary, given the social context. In order to identify the neural basis of the cognitive control of gaze following, we carried out an event-related fMRI experiment, in which human subjects' eye movements were tracked while they were exposed to gaze cues in two distinct contexts: a baseline gaze following condition in which subjects were instructed to use gaze cues to shift their attention to a gazed-at spatial target and a control condition in which the subjects were required to ignore the gaze cue and instead to shift their attention to a distinct spatial target to be selected based on a color mapping rule, requiring the suppression of gaze following. We could identify a suppression-related BOLD response in a frontoparietal network comprising dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (dlPFC), orbitofrontal cortex (OFC), the anterior insula, precuneus and posterior parietal cortex (PPC). These findings suggest that over excitation of frontoparietal circuits in turn suppressing the gaze following patch might be a potential cause of gaze following deficits in clinical populations.

The face is one of the most significant elements of non-verbal communication, which allows humans to quickly get various types of information about a specific person. Therefore, understanding facial expressions is crucial for normal social interaction, as it lets us determine the emotional states and intentions of other people. The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of the time factor on the happy and fearful facial expression processing, reflected in the structure and components of event-related potentials (ERPs). Accordingly, two parallel examinations were conducted with stimulus presentation periods of 500 ms and 100 ms. For the obtained data, two separate analyses (for happy and fearful faces) of the averaged ERP curves corresponding to different stimulus exposure periods were executed. The initial stages of processing (EPN, P3) demonstrated that the difference in the structure and amplitude characteristics of the ERP curve was not that significant, but it demonstrated an increase in attentional resources involvement and a strengthening of the primary emotional analysis. Later ERP components (N400, LPP) showed a more compelling difference, that reflected the complexity of semantic decoding, subsequent conscious evaluation, and processes related to decision-making. Thus, reducing the time of image display from 500 ms to 100 ms created the expected difficulties for the perception and processing of emotional facial expressions and was not sufficient for the normal course of these processes.

Zakonski okvir i ispitivanja osumnjičenih za krivična djela sa stanovišta lingvistike

Linguistics as a scientific discipline is widely applicable in the process of examining all persons who are included in the investigation, which is conducted in order to determine the responsibility of the person for the committed criminal acts, to determine the existence of the very essence of the act. The identification of criminal acts and their perpetrators, the role of individuals in the commission of a criminal act, sometimes relies, in addition to material evidence, on the statements of witnesses, victims and the suspects themselves. When taking statements, police officers use different techniques based on linguistics, from manipulation to identifying the element of non-verbal communication. The paper is based on the author's experience, two years of research and relevant literature.

The Effect of Tattooists' Verbal and Non-verbal Communication on Customer Satisfaction

This study is interested in the effect of tattooists' verbal and non-verbal communication on customer satisfaction, and aims to investigate the types of verbal communication that tattooists deal with customers and how non-verbal communication factors affect customer satisfaction. To achieve this research purpose, tattooists were surveyed, and verbal communication of tattooists was largely divided into customer-oriented and tattooist-oriented communication, and non-verbal communication elements were divided into physical language and spatial environment. Whether these two factors affect customer satisfaction was structured and analyzed. As a result of the analysis, first, it was found that the customer-oriented communication of the tattooist's verbal communication had a significant effect on customer satisfaction. Second, it was proved that physical language among the non-verbal communication factors of tattooists has a significant effect on customer satisfaction.

EMOTIONAL AND EVALUATIVE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE SOMATIC PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS IN MODERN RUSSIAN LANGUAGE (IN BORIS AKUNIN’S IDIOSTYLE)

Introduction. Modern linguistics is characterized by anthropocentric trend. The paper focuses on the emotivity, which is associated with human emotions and feelings, with special interest on the somatic phraseological units in modern Russian language in Boris Akunin’s novel.Purpose. The paper aims at defining the role of emotivity in the phraseological process. Somatic phrasemes and their connection with non-verbal elements of communication are investigated.Methods. The methods used in the paper are: descriptive, componential and quantitative analysis.Results. The paper illustrates that somatisms comprise the semantic centre of the somatic phraseological units being its nuclear. They help to express gests or pose and contemporaneously are used for characterization of human’s feelings. Somatic phrasemes have been examined and classified. Connection of the somatic phraseological units with human emotions and evaluations has been investigated and illustrated in our paper. Phrasemes which denote positive and negativeemotions have been described. The central somatic components of somatic phrasemes have been found. So, 17 groups of emotional phrasemes and 125 objectifications have been revealed in BorisAkunin’s novel. Dominancy of negative emotional mood and its reflection in linguistic units has been established.Conclusion. Akunin’s characters feel anger, fear, sad, shame and disgust much more often than positive feelings. It was shown that from 125 phrasemes only 11 denote positive emotions (gratification, gladness, love and passion). Special attention was paid to the central somatic components. As a result the analysis showed that the most common component as a part of phraseological units are eye, hand, had, eyebrows, heart and their different grammatical forms.Somatic phrasemes which are based on gest only but denote different human’s moods have been analyzed (for example anger, fear and amazement).

Образ «особенного» дерева и его трансформации в пространстве южнокорейского телесериала

The article examines how the image of a tree forms and acts in a South Korean TV series. Formally being part of a shooting location, a tree often appears in scenes that add to it connotation; it is such scenes that become the object of my analysis. A short insight into the history of Korean culture outlines the features of the cult of trees and demonstrates the peculiarities existing in the perception of the image of a tree in literary works. Notable here are the tradition of worshipping tree spirits and trees as such; the connection of trees with the souls of the deceased; the mix of motifs of different origin (including Buddhist ones) in the image of a tree; the diversity and flexibility of its interpretations. Further, I address contemporary television series of various genres, mostly fantasy. Most of the examples are united by one particular tree, which, since 2005, has “starred” in more than twenty TV series. An analysis of the scenes in which this and other trees appear shows that we can speak of the serial image of a special tree. At the same time, some characteristics of a sacred tree appear quite regularly: for instance, the connection of trees with the theme of death, the interaction of characters with a tree or a tree spirit, and a tree acting as a protector. Interestingly, these and other motifs prove to be very convenient for recon- textualization. In addition, scenes involving a special tree appeal to the audience’s experience. The intertextual connections formed around the television image of a tree makes it possible to use it as an element of non-verbal communication with viewers.

Лингвокультурологические аспекты невербальной коммуникации

The article presents the issue of non-verbal communication from the perspective of translation and teaching a foreign language. The research is based on an experiment conducted among Russian students at the University of Warmia and Mazury, whose task it was to analyze data from Krystyna Jarząbek’s Dictionary of the Body Language of Polish People, from which about 30 unknown or unintelligible units of non-verbal communication were selected. The data show that body language, including gestures, is culture-rooted, and confirm that non-verbal means play a significant role in communication. This is why the author of the article believes it to be justified to introduce elements of non-verbal communication into teaching foreign languages and to compile bilingual dictionaries of body language.

Elements that Contribute to the Efficiency of Communication Between Teacher and Student

Abstract Communication skills are one of the most important educational elements today. Current education has already included communication competencies as independent objectives in the education of young generations. Communication is a multidisciplinary existential basis and that is why its understanding is not easy, and must be approached scientifically, conceptually and structurally. This paper aims to emphasize the importance of communication in the teaching-learning process and its direct correlation with school success but also with success in life. Teachers need communication more than anyone. Their verbal communication occupies 70% of a class lesson (Haslett, 1987). The appeal to the elements of emotional intelligence, to the motivation / interests of the students, becomes a necessity and at the same time they are constituted as factors that can improve and make efficient the didactic communication. In this paper we will analyze the main functions of teacher-student communication (guidance, information and thought challenge). There are described other elements that can also contribute to better communication in the classroom: active presentation of topics, providing summaries, resumption of main ideas, clarity of presentation (sentence logic, examples and explanations), assessment of comprehension deficiencies and their correction, frequently asked questions. All these aspects have proved, through the studies carried out, that they are positively correlated with the students’ results. The verbal communication of the educator is always accompanied by the elements of non-verbal communication that have an important role in achieving an effective instructive-educational process. In this regard, we can mention a few essential components: posture, gestures, facial expressions, style of dressing, tone of voice, all of which can incite or divert the listener’s attention. Another important element in effectiveness of the didactic communication is the knowledge of the cultural, economic and social environment from which the students come, their specific characteristics. The interaction will be more plausible, accessible to the student, when well known, culturally familiar aspects are inserted in the complex process of teacher-student communication. The integration of cultural diversity in didactic communication has become a stringent requirement of modern education.

Hand gestures are a crucial part of human interactions. As such, they are also reflected in works of art and culture, a special case being the descriptions of gestures in literature. It is difficult for a contemporary reader to understand them and to translate each part of nonverbal communication in a way that is intelligible to audiences from other cultures. The article focuses on the hand gestures described in the Bible, offering a broader analysis of some of them (such as the lifting of hands, laying on of hands, handclapping, striking of the thigh and touching and shaking of hands). This makes it possible to present the basic problems connected with the occurrence of elements of nonverbal communication in literature and the research being conducted in that area.

Investigating the effects of impairment in non-verbal communication on neuropsychiatric symptoms and quality of life of people living with dementia.

IntroductionPeople living with dementia in nursing homes have complex needs; impairments in cognition, communication, and daily function; neuropsychiatric symptoms (NPS); and poor quality of life (QoL). The current study examines impairments in non‐verbal communication as a potential driver of NPS and QoL.MethodsOne hundred nursing home residents with dementia were assessed using the Emory Dyssemia Index (EDI), Neuropsychiatric Inventory Nursing Home version (NPI‐NH), Quality of Life in Alzheimer's Disease (QoL‐AD) at baseline, 12‐, and 24‐week follow‐up.ResultsThe quantile regression (0.5) model indicated that impairment of non‐verbal communication was independently associated with the severity of NPS (P = .001) and proxy reported QoL (P < .05), levels of agitation (P < .05), and professional caregiver burden (P < .05).DiscussionThese results highlight a novel potential approach to improve NPS and QoL using retained elements of non‐verbal communication, particularly for people with severe dementia.

Nonverbal means of emotions

Anthropocentric paradigm of modern linguistics is characterized by an increased interest in the problems of language and speech representation of emotions. Emotions play a vey important role in cognition of the world and its understanding. Emotions are not yet a form of cognition, but they cause certain experiences in the human’s mind, that is, the experience of his attitude to himself, to reality, to cognition and activity. It is a specific, unique form of cognition, reflection and evaluation of the surrounding reality by an individual. The attitude of certain objects to the existence of a person as a natural and social being, to his needs and aspirations and individual’s attitude to them is reflected in emotions. The research of emotions is impossible without a comprehensive analysis of nonverbal behavior as biologically determined system, which is an integral part of the process of communication. There are at least two semiotic planes of emotions - verbal, representing the linguistic expression of emotions and nonverbal representing physiological manifestation of emotions. All human interaction with the environment has a certain emotional coloring. Emotions are naturally included in the communication between people. This emotional attitude accompanying verbal expression, forms nonverbal aspects of information exchange – non-verbal communication. The peculiarity of the elements of nonverbal communication is that they are formed earlier than the verbal part of the utterance, which is superimposed on the previously expressed nonverbal part. Different kinds of relationships can develop between verbal and nonverbal components. As a rule, the emotional context of speech, followed by paralinguistic component is identical to its logical sense and greatly enhances it. The main nonverbal means of expressing emotions are kinetic, phonic, graphic and proxemic.

Public Speaking in EFL Postgraduate Courses in Italy: A Case Study with Students of Political Science, University of Genoa

The teaching of soft skills in EFL postgraduate courses is increasingly part of the Italian university curricula, albeit with some delay compared to foreign universities. Postgraduate English language courses need to focus on the use of language in foreseeable situations by creating opportunities to use the language in public contexts. Meetings, presentations, debates are the activities that young people will increasingly be called upon to engage in. Rather than solely on theoretical knowledge learned previously, these activities develop the practical use of language, in front of an audience, with a structured discourse and with some emphasis on the non-verbal elements of communication. Although these aspects may appear daunting to students, more often than not, they have been able to overcome their anxiety, not only in relation to the embarrassment of speaking a foreign language in public, but even to the mere act of speaking in public, which represents an obstacle in itself. In this study a case of Italian postgraduate students of Political Science was carried out and analysed.

VERBAL AND NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION IN TEACHER TALK IN THE CLASSROOM UNIVERSITAS MUSLIM MAROS

This research aimed to analyze the forms of verbal and nonverbal communication in teacher talk. The method used in this research was descriptive qualitative. The instrument of the study was the FLINT System and Darn classification. The participants of this research were the teacher and students in a speaking class of the English Department. The results show that teacher talk gives a positive impact on students’ performance. During the class interaction, the teacher successfully met the aspects of good teacher talk and applied some forms of FLINT system of verbal communication and some elements of non-verbal communication. For the FLINT system, the teacher applied to ask questions, giving encouragement, giving direction, critiquing students’ behavior, dealing with feelings and, prising. For the form of nonverbal communication, the teacher applied only two forms, those are kinesics which is referred to as gestures, and haptics is referred to as touching.

The article is devoted to the study of the content and form of the socio-cultural space of the library at the present stage, which is undergoing significant transformations under the influence of information technologies, social, economic and technological changes. The basic tendencies of designing library spaces in the world practice are revealed and, based on the analyzed analogues, the principles of their architectural and planning organization are formulated. Dynamic processes in the field of information technology and social communication, having undergone special development at the beginning of the XXI century, have greatly influenced the understanding of the functions and place of the library in the educational, recreational and leisure and socio-cultural space of society, becoming factors for the transformation of libraries and their acquisition of new functions, which was reflected in the formation of new concepts and principles of architectural organization of this type of buildings. Today, the areas of activity and architectural solutions of traditional libraries in Ukraine do not meet the needs of today's information society, and especially its needs for communication and information support. As there are not enough qualitative samples that could serve as a basis for this research in domestic practice, so the successful world practice has been analyzed to identify the basic tendencies of designing modern libraries and to formulate recommendations for their architectural organization. In the world advanced countries library professionals, together with architects, designers, representatives of the information technology sector, are actively working on solving the problem of modernization and adaptation of libraries to the modern requirements of society. In its modern sense, the library is a multifunctional socio-cultural center providing open access to information in any form, as well as the opportunity to interact and carry out a wide range of activities-communicative, leisure, recreational for all segments of the population. The dynamic transformation of libraries and the acquisition of a wide range of new features requires a new architectural strategy, which would ensure the full realization of all potential capabilities of the library. And, if, considering the exterior of the building, the mean of solving the task is the formation of a modern expressive architectural image of the building, then the interior space requires a much wider range of architectural innovations and transformations. The internal space of the library is an important element of non-verbal communication, interacting with users through spatial shapes, color, lighting. Taking into account the works of foreign and domestic researchers and the analysis of a number of world analogues, the following features of designing modern library spaces were revealed: flexibility and transformability, multifunctionality, accessibility and adaptability to all user groups, environmental friendliness, technological interactivity, architectural expressiveness. As a result of the conducted research it is revealed that dynamic processes of development of innovations, digital and information-communication technologies set new contours of architectural-planning and spatial organization of the modern library building. Library space at the present stage significantly expands the range of its functions, acquiring new meaning and importance for society, becoming an important socio-cultural center.
