It also prepares students to complete an in-depth applied project related to communication studies. Theory and research in persuasion, emphasizing a critical understanding and working knowledge of the effects of social communication on attitudes, beliefs, and behavior. At a theoretical, explanatory, level, it could be also argued that the use of lan- guage is also the most distinctive trait of human communication as opposed to ani- mal or, generally, non-human communication phenomena, introducing an evolu- tionary perspective on language and human communication.
Moving to the disciplinary camp of linguistics, the idea that the scientific study of language has to do with explaining language as a tool for conveying meaning in verbal communication may seem almost a truism. Verbal communication. Communication in an elaborated sense proper be- came a true concern for scholars in the language sciences only in the second half of the 20 th century with the emergence of pragmatics. It turns out, in fact, that neither on the side of communication research nor on the side of linguistics, things are so clear-cut, and on neither side is the centrality of verbal communication for the respective scientific endeavors considered an un- disputed truism.
This is somewhat surprising when keeping in mind that the usual purpose of language is to communicate and that communication among humans is typically achieved by means of language. A volume on verbal communication within a Handbook of Communication Sciences could not be conceived without recognizing this counter-intuitive state of the art and without an ambition to contribute towards bridging some of the gaps left open by this intellectual background.
More generally, it could not be designed without taking into account the complex disciplinary and interdisciplinary land- scape that surrounds this very disputed topic. The landscape in question is indeed particularly complex, since language lies at the intersection of many disciplines linguistics, communication sciences, philosophy, psychology, sociology, ethnolo- gy, anthropology, etc.
Indeed, language and communication make up for a scientific object of study in some sense relating both to natural sciences it is about how humans use their brains and their motor system to send structured signals and to interpret them, hence it is about cognitive psychology and neurology and to the humanities it is about how humans share thoughts, emotions and experiences that shape all as- pects of life in society, from basic communicative and representational needs to subtle and elaborated artistic and technological achievements.
Therefore it is of little surprise that the field is fiercely disputed by highly conflicting trends: natural- istic-cognitive and formal approaches, on one side, and psychosocial trends on the other. Likewise, students of language have often been reluctant to integrate their theories of language structure with what is manifestly the paradigm function of language, that of communication.
Jacobs Despite its pervasiveness and the role it plays in defining human communication as a whole, verbal communication does not currently define one cohesive and dis- tinct subfield within the discipline of communication.
Clearly, verbal communication does not fit in this kind of subdivision as it is clearly equally important for each of the above- mentioned contextual domains. This label clearly identifies a research community where the use of lan- guage in communication plays indeed a central role. The focus of the Language and Social Interaction community, however, is clearly narrower than the full extent of verbal communication phenomena.
Discussing discourse analysis in the com- munication discipline in America, Tracy observes that the use of dis- course analytic methods began among interpersonal communication scholars and remains best established in that specific contextual area. Their description, however, makes no specific mention of the study of discourse or speech.
In fact, even rhetoric and argumentation are absent from the labeling of its interests groups. These absences may well be due to particular circumstances, but they surely seem to reflect certain fundamental differences between Europe and North America in the development in the field of communication.
These fundamental differences touch also the way in which the field of communication treats verbal communica- tion and relates or fails to relate to the language sciences proper. Let us start from what could be, prima facie, a plausible label to denote the matter of the present book as a relevant subfield of Communication: speech com- munication. In a North American context, the speech label refers more to an intellectual tradition within the communication discipline than to any topical subfield having to do with verbal communication.
In the early years of the 20 th Century teachers of public speaking in American universities broke away from English departments and founded de- partments of Speech, later to become departments of Speech Communication. Ac- cording to Craig — , these departments where often characterized by a tension between scholars of the Humanities rooted in the classical rhetorical tradi- tions and those scholars who saw Speech as a behavioral, social discipline.
In contrast with the North American situation, in Europe rhetoric was, until recently, not perceived as a living scholarly and pedagogical discipline and the educational endeavor of public speaking instruction did not have the same impor- tance.
In some European countries, it is linguistics and semiotics, rather than rhe- toric, that have had an impact on the development of the field, after they had become very strong disciplines under the influence of structuralism.
If rhetoric deserves to be studied, it is merely as a historical subject — as history of rhetoric — to critically understand the roots of these phenomena with the help of newer sciences such as linguistics, semiotics, psycho-analysis and marxism cf. Barthes Nonetheless, Perelman and Ol- brechts-Tyteca and Barthes share an important presupposition: they both believed that, at the time of their writing, rhetoric as a discipline was dead.
What is then the place of verbal communi- cation in European communication sciences? The current configuration of communication education in France, as Krieg- Planque — observes, features curricula that mix language sciences and communication sciences and includes a certain number of discourse-related or semiotics-related courses also in more standard communication curricula. The relationship of these courses with a broader, encompassing, approach to verbal communication is far from being straightforward, however.
Although the view of discourse analysis as method is also typical of the Ameri- can communication scene Tracy , its confusion with quantitative methods of mass communication research is impossible in an American context. In that con- 1 The shift in the denomination of the field is intentional.
While in North America Communication is perceived as being one discipline and is usually not explicitly qualified as a science but rather listed among the arts, despite its strong social sciences component, in continental Europe the field is more often perceived as multi-disciplinary and its component disciplines are often qualified as sciences: hence Communication Sciences.
In contrast, French discourse analysis de- veloped from the study of political discourse, newspaper discourse and media dis- course in general and involved from the beginning computer supported methods for the quantitative analysis of extensive corpora cf. Within the language scien- ces, there was a time in which linguistics, in close alliance with semiotics, enjoyed wide currency within communication sciences, at least as far as Europe is con- cerned, and was regarded as a model for theorizing about communication.
The contribution of linguistic ideas to the field of communication remained however largely programmatic. That period is long past and linguistics and semiotics have since then taken different paths at least until very recently. It has entered a series of interdisciplinary partnerships that have made it much more relevantly connected with the study of communication, while suffering of a lack of visibility in the field of communication. Two trends of research are particularly relevant here and have informed the architecture of the present volume.
They are basically related to the two major trends we mentioned at the beginning of this introduction: research mostly orient- ed towards social aspects, and research mostly oriented towards cognitive aspects. Although currently the divide between these two trends tends to blur, at least for what concerns their central topics of interest, relevant oppositions in focus do exist at the epistemological level due to a preference for methods and concerns of the social sciences on one side and of the natural sciences on the other.
The trend that stems from the interaction of the Language Sciences and social sciences such as anthropology and sociology produced a plethora of approaches to the study of verbal meanings in socially situated communication events discourse analysis, conversation analysis, ethnography of communication, interactional so- ciolinguistics, critical discourse analysis, etc. The other major trend, represented by cognitively oriented research on lan- guage and verbal communication, is mostly carried out within cognitive and ex- perimental pragmatics, cognitive linguistics, psycholinguistics, in close connection with research in cognitive psychology, cognitive anthropology, artificial intelli- gence and cognitive science in general.
This growing body of work addresses the cognitive processes underlying verbal communication seeking to factor out what is specific to strictly verbal aspects and dependent on a highly specialized language faculty, from what depends on more general cognitive processes, recruited in com- munication, that also underlie non-verbal behaviour.
On the one hand this kind of research is deeply intertwined with evolutionary research on language and com- munication tackling the question of what is uniquely and distinctively human in human communication and by contrast what we share with other living beings. On the other hand, it provides insight into how language interacts with the reasoning processes involved in inference, argumentation and persuasion as well as with cognitive processes connected with framing, metaphorical mapping and analogy.
The field known as Pragmatics, with its emphasis on intentional communica- tive behaviour, contextual processes of explicit and implicit message understand- ing, shared intentions and action coordination, provides a bridge between the cog- nitive and the social strands of research. Cognitively oriented research on language use, although it is not systematically represented in the discipline of communica- tion as an autonomous concern, is nevertheless relevant or even central to a variety of areas ranging from research about procedures of message understanding to per- suasion research.
As expected from our understanding of the scientific landscape, we took seri- ously the double focus on cognitive and socio-cultural aspects in current research on language. An introduction 11 ing complementarity rather than as a sterile divide, although acknowledging that on some issues the epistemological tension remains.
Among the critical themes that a volume on language within communication sciences has to address, there are the few big issues of what language is, how studying it contributes crucially to the understanding of human communication in general, and what it tells us at a more philosophical and anthropological level about human nature. It is also impor- tant to consider how language concerns intersect communication research at the level of methodology for the analysis of verbal data of different kinds.
As it appears, verbal communication research pragmatics is typically relevant to broader issues of communication sciences; its applicability to the analysis of communication in various social contexts is always in focus throughout the volume.
The book follows these principles along six uneven sections: Verbal communi- cation: fundamentals; Explicit and implicit verbal communication; Conversation and dialogue; Types of discursive activities; Verbal communication across media and con- texts; Verbal communication quality.
The first section of the handbook Verbal communication: Fundamentals is devoted to liminal matters that are actually crucial to acquire a grasp of the speci- ficity of verbal communication and at the same time appreciate its pivotal nature in the human communication landscape at large.
Jointly, the two chapters that compose this section respond to the need of dispelling a double misperception of verbal communication phenomena. On the one hand, the verbal component in communication has often been seen as the default form of human communication. It is the one that is often implied when theorizing about human communication in general and with some triviality. The question of the uniqueness of human ver- bal communication and of the role of language in what makes us humans requires us to take a closer look at the very emergence of language in light of Evolution.
On the other hand, when the attention is brought on means of human commu- nication where the language faculty does not play a role at least, not a directly observable one , the importance of these non-verbal means in our lives and their effectiveness for persuasion, for the maintenance of interpersonal relationships, or for other socially relevant purposes is emphasized at the expense of words, lan- guage or verbal communication.
