论非语言符号中的象似性

语言结构与人的经验之间存在许多象似关系。非语言符号和所指之间也存在这种自然关系。这些象似关系包括情绪象似性,亲疏象似性,权势象似性等。情绪象似性反映了人类的非语言符号象似于人类的情绪体验,亲疏象似性表示非语言符号象似于交际者之间关系的亲疏,权势象似性反映了非语言符号象似于由于交际一方社会地位、阶层高而能控制另一方行为的社会关系。     

The Power of a 😉: Emojis Reducing Ambiguity in Digitally Mediated Romantic Encounters

Digital technology has long provided new ways of initiating romantic relationships as people communicate through text messages, social media, and dating applications. Emojis have been widely adopted as a means of conveying nonverbal cues in digital communication. However, what role do platform-provided social cues, such as emojis, play in fostering or impeding clear communication and shared romantic expectations from a flirtatious text message conversation? In this study, 713 college students were randomly assigned to read a Snapchat conversation with or without emojis and, they were subsequently asked to infer the characters' thoughts and feelings, clarity of the characters' intentions, and indicate their own discomfort with receiving a similar Snapchat message. The results showed that emojis increase the clarity of the main character's intentions. Moreover, the participants' cognitive efforts, the extent to which they were emotionally affected by the conversation, and the presence of emojis reduced comfort level with receiving a similar Snapchat message. These findings suggest that emojis provide clarity to romantic conversations, which can amplify the interpersonal discomfort of receiving text-based sexual overtures.     

理工科大学生学术英语口语非言语特征研究——基于多模态视角

基于自建多模态学术英语口语语料库，运用多模态互动分析方法，对中国理工科大学生学术英语口语中的非言语特征进行研究，重点分析非言语模态结构配置、模态特征和模态协同。结果显示：目光交流和声调为高强度模态，与主模态为补缺关系；手势、面部表情、身体移动和头部活动为次要模态，其中手势与主模态成强化关系，其他模态与主模态成交叠关系。学生在学术英语口语表达中倾向于运用目光交流和声调变换构成非言语交际，也有意识使用手势强化表达内容，但存在语气平淡、表情不自然、身体僵硬、缺乏情感等情况。
