Linguistics Chronemics Olfactics Haptics Kinesics Proxemics Oculesics In many other cultures, time is time is experienced polychronically rather than sequentially. Time in US is a sequence….a commodity to be spent, used, wasted…. The study of meanings, usage and communication of time. Chronemics Olfactics Concerned with systems of smell…. Linda Buck and Richard Axel 2004 Noble Laureates…about 1/3 of human genotype devoted to smell. Jacobson’s Organ (Vomeronasel Organ)…pheromones… Menstrual Synchrony and Suppression, by Martha McClintock (1971) Communication through the skin….i.e. Touching by Ashley Montague. Tactile Display: the skin responds to several distributed physical quantities; the most important are perhaps high-frequency vibrations, small-scale shape or pressure distribution, and thermal properties. Teleoperation; Psychophysics Haptics Bodily movement, facial expression, etc. Ray Birdwhistell is pioneer Kinesics Proxemics Communication by use of space…. Edward T. Hall’s work, for example Communication involving the eyes…including eye contact, blinks, eye movements, and pupil dilation (has received marginal attention by intercultural communication scholars). Eye contact is referred to as “an invitation to communicate.” Oculesics Includes paralanguage… It’s not what you say, it’s the way you say it. Metalanguage/Vocalics
