2nd posters for 'Language' by me

THESIS PROJECT 3 | research

A language is a dynamic set of visual, auditory, or tactile symbols of communicationthe elements used to manipulate them. Language can also refer to the use of such systems as a general phenomenon. Language is considered to be an exclusively human mode of communication; although other animals make use of quite sophisticated communicative systems, none of these are known to make use of all of the properties that linguists use to define language.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Visual
Nonverbal communication is usually understood as the process of communication through sending and receiving wordless messages. Such messages can be communicated through gesture; body language or posture; facial expression and eye contact; object communication such as clothing, hairstyles or even architecture; symbols and infographics. Speech may also contain nonverbal elements known as paralanguage, including voice quality, emotion and speaking style, as well as prosodic features such as rhythm, intonation and stress. Likewise, written texts have nonverbal elements such as handwriting style, spatial arrangement of words, or the use of emoticons. However, much of the study of nonverbal communication has focused on face-to-face interaction, where it can be classified into three principal areas:

1. environmental conditions where communication takes place
2. the physical characteristics of the communicators
3. behaviors of communicators during interaction

* Kinesics
Information about the relationship and affect of these two skaters is communicated by their body posture, eye gaze and physical contact. Kinesics is the study of body movements, facial expressions, and gestures. Kinesic behaviors include mutual gaze, smiling, facial warmth or pleasantness, childlike behaviors, direct body orientation, and the like. Birdwhistell proposed the term kineme to describe a minimal unit of visual expression, in analogy to a phoneme which is a minimal unit of sound.

-Posture
Posture can be used to determine a participant’s degree of attention or involvement, the difference in status between communicators, and the level of fondness a person has for the other communicator. Studies investigating the impact of posture on interpersonal relationships suggest that mirror-image congruent postures, where one person’s left side is parallel to the other’s right side, leads to favorable perception of communicators and positive speech; a person who displays a forward lean or a decrease in a backwards lean also signify positive sentiment during communication. Posture is understood through such indicators as direction of lean, body orientation, arm position, and body openness.

-Gesture
A wink is a type of gesture. A gesture is a non-vocal bodily movement intended to express meaning. They may be articulated with the hands, arms or body, and also include movements of the head, face and eyes, such as winking, nodding, or rolling one's eyes. The boundary between language and gesture, or verbal and nonverbal communication, can be hard to identify.

Gestures can be also be categorised as either speech-independent or speech-related. Speech-independent gestures are dependent upon culturally accepted interpretation and have a direct verbal translation. A wave hello or a peace sign are examples of speech-independent gestures. Speech related gestures are used in parallel with verbal speech; this form of nonverbal communication is used to emphasize the message that is being communicated. Speech related gestures are intended to provide supplemental information to a verbal message such as pointing to an object of discussion.
A gesture is a form of non-verbal communication made with a part of the body, used instead of or in combination with verbal communication. The language of gesture allows individuals to express a variety of feelings and thoughts, from contempt and hostility to approval and affection. Most people use gestures and body language in addition to words when they speak. The use of gesture as language by some ethnic groups is more common than in others, and the amount of such gesturing that is considered culturally acceptable varies from one location to the next.
Other types of gestures are the ones we use when we speak. These gestures are closely coordinated with speech.

Auditory

Verbal communication is the scientific study of language, encompassing a number of sub-fields. An important topical division is between the study of language structure (grammar) and the study of meaning (semantics). Grammar encompasses morphology (the formation and composition of words), syntax (the rules that determine how words combine into phrases and sentences) and phonology (the study of sound systems and abstract sound units). Phonetics is a related branch of linguistics concerned with the actual properties of speech sounds (phones), non-speech sounds, and how they are produced and perceived.

Tactile

*Haptics
A high five is an example of communicative touch. Haptics is the study of touching as nonverbal communication. Touches that can be defined as communication include handshakes, holding hands, kissing (cheek, lips, hand), back slapping, high fives, a pat on the shoulder, and brushing an arm. Touching of oneself during communication may include licking, picking, holding, and scratching. These behaviors are referred to as "adaptor" and may send messages that reveal the intentions or feelings of a communicator. The meaning conveyed from touch is highly dependent upon the context of the situation, the relationship between communicators, and the manner of touch.

I kept thought of my topic on the word like 'HUMAN INTERACTION' from the last class. Because, I realized that 'interaction' has closer meaning to explain about factors, which is influenced to human relationship.

Human communication is the basic example of interactive communication. Human-Human interactivity is the communication between people and people. Human to Human interactivity, there are consisted of many conceptualizations which based on anthropomorphic definitions. For example, complex systems that detect and react to human behavior are sometimes called interactive. Under this perspective, interaction includes responses to human physical manipulation like movement, body language, and/or changes in psychological states.

Before people get to relate to each other, we can get feeling btw people, even like or dislike whom, when we start to interact each other. Therefore people can keep their relationship to the next step by 'human interaction'.

What makes you react on 'human interaction' ?

Some factors can be any movement, body language, changes and so on. Because, every human interaction makes our relationship can be reach to the next situation as I mentioned.

In the general, our every movement, body-language, thought and speaking is the part of way to get in human interaction. For instance, If people come from different countries, they can not interact to each other with their each language. And we can recognize what people want to say through their face or body-language when they can not speak any other language. In addition, If people can not face to face in somewhere, even people can speak same language, they can interact with only way of letter, call, online messenger something like this. So, mediation is necessary to interact btw people well.

I am looking around interaction from my relationship as a normal situation from these days.

I am interacting to my family and most of friends through way of phone, e-mail and messenger with Korean. This relation has been kept with language so far. I sometimes meet friends from undergraduate school. I also have interaction from this class. We discussed about our thesis project, and give some comment to others. In these all cases, language which is included both korean and english make my human interaction. And I always passed by many people everywhere. But, sometimes, I stared them with no reason, passed the time of with someone and asked direction to the place. There is body-language and gesture as well as language. When I met a chinese at the airport, she asked me something with Chinese. But I could not response to her. So I just made a gesture to say 'no'. All of situaions are including factors to 'human interaction', because those are various ways of interaction.

Human interaction is not simple. The America has many different people from the whole world. But they do not try to learn other languages as well as others. The world is globalizing. I want to give the message to them. When we supposed to language is the most important way to interact to each other, they really have to learn other languages and realize what they are doing.

So, eventually, I thought my final works can be part of campaign. Any comment. please.

THESIS PROJECT 1 |

My thesis project will be connected with 'Human Relationship' which is connection by being related between people. I have been thought about this through my whole life but there was no right answer to get in yet. And most of my interest is about human relationship, except design area. The topic of human relationship came from my personal opinion, however, we all know that these kind of subject is related to everyone's life.

So, I would like to say this, 'How can you close to each other? if you are close to each other, how do you feel this and are you sure?' I will try to focuse on their feeling about human relationship, when they think their relationship is pretty close to each other. Otherwise, their freind can have different thinking against them. That is the point of my starting thingking about all human relationship. I know this fact can not be explained detaily, but I will try to interpret to organizing their feeling into graphic area. For instance, my feeling about BF can be correlated to our distance between us. That is, the distance influenced on their relationship well.

Fianlly, I want to reinterpret the feeling of human relationship by me, ideally. That's it so far.
