kirk steele's search result is: http://members.aol.com/nonverbal2/diction1.htm
it is interesting reading. in fact, it was one of my first subjects of discussion in the neighbouring irc room, #sl4.
to blunderov: i too am fascinated by politicians' body language. de gaulle, hitler, david llyod george, churchill, stalin, castro....thatcher...i cant think of any other women...there should be an illustrated book on politicians and body language. great politicians have mastered the art of public speaking as well as nonverbal communication. arrrrggggghhhhh..and then there is dubya. what do you think *he* is communicating to us non verbally?
to michelle: i agree that some subjects are better learned through observation. book knowledge just wont cut it. actors and performance artistes do use a lot of body language. esp for actors...there is no other way to communicate to the audience other than body language..because the audience are the voyeurs and the principal communication is on the stage/screen between the actors. i remember watching this woman, a dance teacher, instructing her students on the different emotions..in nine main categories...love and laughter, digust and wonder...anger and fear....compassion and peacefulness..i forget the last one...it was fascinating because all the above emotions can be communciated through our eyes alone. of course, that is dramatic and things are a tad muted in real life.
and..yes, i like to watch too...:)
