"From time to time one comes across a truly valuable Internet resource, one worth mentioning to colleagues. This site fits into this category. CNS--a private, nonprofit research center devoted to advancing the study of human communication in all its forms apart from language--looks at nonverbal communication primarily from the viewpoints of anthropology, art, biology, evolution, and neuroscience. Recently affiliated with the Center for Ethnographic Research at the University of Missouri, Kansas City, CNS announces its areas of special interest as 'body movement, gesture, facial expression, adornment and fashion, architecture, mass media, and consumer-product design.' The centerpiece of the CNS site is The Nonverbal Dictionary of Gestures, Signs, & Body Language Cues, which draws on the work of anthropologists, archaeologists, biologists, linguists, psychiatrists, psychologists, semioticians, and others who have studied nonverbal messages. A masterful piece of work compiled by David Givens, a researcher at CNS, the dictionary includes hundreds of entries ranging from 'Adam's-Apple-Jump' to 'Zygomatic Smile'--all interlinked and including illustrations and scientific explanations. This easy-to-navigate site is highly recommended to students and scholars at all levels and to anyone with a passing interest in nonverbal communication. Givens plans to enhance the dictionary over time. -- S. A. Rollman, James Madison University

"I wanted to tell you that your Nonverbal Dictionary is terrific! It is well written, concise and contains some facinating information that I had not previously known. Prior to becoming an attorney, I was a police detective for a number of years. I am continually amazed how attorneys at depositions are typically so focused on their outlines than they completely ignore nonverbal, and even verbal, indicators that practically give-away the case. Anyway, I really look forward to your completed work and wanted to let you know that it is an excellent, unique contribution to the field of knowledge."

"Body Art is a form of communication that is as old as the human race itself. For eons, humans have been using the body as canvas. Ancient as well as contemporary people used and still use forms of body modification to communicate ideas about self and their relation to their perceived world. Body art is a form of self-identity, then and now. The entry named Body Adornment in The Nonverbal Dictionary states that before clothing and body adornment, humans had to use body movements, postures and facial cues to make statements about feelings and attitudes."

"I am moving away from rational, dialogue centered methods of conflict resolution and toward nonverbal, mythic, symbolic, gesture-centured ways in which people reconcile, and then applying that to complex, intractable inter-ethnic and inter-cultural conflict. That is why your work is so important. In many ways, you are doing conflict resolution research and work. My obssession these days is using all my contacts and interaction with Israelis and Palestinians at very high levels, and trying to convince them of the power of gestures to cut through impossible divides in negotiation and people to people relations."

"I saw your website and the first thing that called my attention was the topic of car grille faces, because not long ago I started detecting what seemed like facial expressions while looking at cars and I thought I was going nuts. I'm so glad to know that someone has information regarding this topic, and it's for real. I also lived in Spokane until August of last year and I moved to Miami. I thought it was worthy of note that someone who has so much information (that I'm interested in) lived there. I find the subject of your research fascinating and I hope you keep illuminating people with your observations."

Review

"Center for Nonverbal Studies - Without so much as a word, we humans communicate reams of information to one another through our gestures, facial expressions, body movements, clothing, hair, and more. Especially our hair. What once was utilized as camouflage in the natural landscape now helps us blend into our social surroundings. What may not be obvious to us is well appreciated in our 'primate brain' or newly discovered portions of our 'mammalian brain'. Personal space, which varies widely from culture to culture, is covered, and there are explanations as to why some of us (men) feel hostile when a stranger sits directly across from us at the library, and others (women) get agitated when some boor sits beside us at the library. And fascinating to think that a simple throat-clearing (see also adam's-apple jump) could impart such a variety of meanings. Highly recommended. (21 May 2001) AD http://members.aol.com/nonverbal2/"

"David B. Givens has compiled this list of more than 250 items. Each has a generous amount of explanatory text (typically about two screens' worth), usually with some useful diagram or photograph and with ample cross-referencing. Some of the text is original, and the author claims to have referenced all derivative material, though it would have been helpful to have made the references fuller than just surname and date [a complete reference list is now available on the website]. The text is an entertaining and enjoyable mixture of comment from a variety of disciplinary standpoints."

The Center for Nonverbal Studies, a private, nonprofit research center located on the West Coast whose mission is to advance the study of human communication in all forms apart from language, offers online The Nonverbal Dictionary of Gestures, Signs, and Body Language Cues. Compiled by PhD David B. Givens and drawing on the work of anthropologists, archaeologists, biologists, linguists, psychiatrists, psychologists, semioticians, and others who study communication, this text is a fascinating compendium of brief essays on the way we say things without saying anything. From automobile grilles to folded arms to lawn ornaments to high heels, this text elucidates the language of nonverbal communication. New entries are added on a regular basis and featured at the Center's What's New page. The Website is affiliated with the Center for Ethnographic Research (CER) at the University of Missouri in Kansas City.

Reference Question of the Month

"One of my favorite web sites, the Nonverbal Dictionary of Gestures, Signs, and Body Language Cues, from the Center for Nonverbal Studies, includes sections on eye contact and love signals (stages 1-5, just in time for Valentine's Day). Could it be that dilation of the pupil has something to do with bedroom eyes?? About eyes in stage 2 (Courtship):

"Responsive eyes. As primates, we respond to changes in gaze direction, and in courtship, concern with eyes and eye contact is extreme. At a singles bar, e.g., eyes dart about and make rapid saccadic movements as they bounce from face to face in the crowd. Even a fleeting glance may suffice to answer the question: "I am female!" . . . Did you notice?.Responsive pupils. One of our tiniest cues, pupil size, is measured with a pupillometer. The device detects dilation when we view attractive men and women, but constriction when we view threatening or disliked people. Studies show that, while pupil size itself is out of awareness, dilation can be a tell-tale recognition cue (Hess 1975). (N.B.: That enlarged pupils unconsciously telegraph sexual interest was appreciated by European women, who once dilated their eyes artificially with belladonna, a cosmetic extract of the nightshade family.)

Explore the silent side of human communication, from the adam's apple jump to the classic shoulder shrug display, from flight and fright reflexes to true and false smiles.
