Таксономія паралінгвальних засобів комунікації

Abstract

This article deals with the investigation of non-verbal means which are used in modern written discourse. An analysis is made that focuses on multidimensional key theories, which make possible the study of the peculiarities of verbal and nonverbal means functioning in the English communicative space. Attention is also devoted to the interrelationship and the interdependence of several linguistic disciplines–graphic linguistics, visual linguistics, visual communication, media linguistics, multimodal theory and multimodal discourse–within which verbal and non-verbal devices are considered.
