Abstract

The just realistic definitions offered here of what must be understood by nonverbal communication and interaction prove two unquestionable truths, though often shortsightedly shunned: the extreme interdisciplinarity of what actually constitutes a true academic and research field, and the fact that we can hardly embark in a realistic, systematic and exhaustive study of communication an any of the fields of the readers of these pages without adopting a holistic and necessarily interdisciplinary perspective. This perspective must always be framed within the context of the interpersonal and person-environment sensory exchanges, among which we find languaje itself (which, however, is above all verbal-paralinguistic-kinesic). But it is not a question of attending only to what 'happens', but also to what only in appearance -never semiotically- seems to be a vacuum: for instance, silence. If due to space limitations, I hardly summarize a few aspects here, I do so in the hope that it will be an incentive for specialists to resort to the bibliographical references offered and truly probe in depht into these and many other topics.
