Liggaamstaal as kommunikasie: perspektiewe uit die Hebreeuse Bybel

摘要

Body language as communication: perspectives from the Hebrew Bible This contribution treats aspects of the important source of nonverbal communication in the Hebrew Bible. It focuses especially on the following themes: - the problem of terminology, - legal acts, with special emphasis on the idea of dissociation, - the manner in which some emotions (shame, disgust) are displayed nonverbally, - the manifestation of nonverbal communication in narrative literature (especially in the nonverbal category “proxemics” in Ruth 2-3).
