The Silent Language

The Silent Language was the founding document of the new field of

intercultural communication& although it was not written with this

*ur*ose in mind& nor was it e%en directed at an academic audience. Theook was written for the general *ulic& and ecame a major est7

seller. It also had a *rofound influence on academic scholars. The

Silent Language contained )e cha!ters on '*hat Is &ulture+(

'&ulture Is Communication&9 8Time Talks&9 and 8S*ace S*eaks.9 The

ook *laced a hea%! em*hasis on non%eral communication& with atleast /- *ercent of the content gi%en to this to*ic. 'n im*ortant a**eal

of The Silent Language to its readers was its illumination of *re%iousl!

hidden dimensions of human communication& *articularl! *ro:emics

?how s*ace affects communication= and chronemics .E:am*les from awide range of cultures were included in the ook& drawn from Halls

work e:*eriences with the Ho*is and #a%ajos& his e%aluation of

de%elo*ment *rograms on the island of Truk in ,64>& and& es*eciall!&

the intercultural communication e:*eriences of his 3SI trainees.

5. 'nal!)ing of each field and how this *aradigm

was followed ! scholars in the 0S'& @a*an.

,. The 3SI scholars focused on intercultural communication& rather than

on macro7le%el mono7cultural stud!& which Hall originall! taught the 3SItrainees. 'lthough intercultural communication had roots in anthro*olog! and

linguistics& it ecame Auite different from either in the decades following ,655.

/. #on%eral communication& defined ?! Hall= as communication that does

not in%ol%e the e:change of words. Hall& Trager& and irdwhistell created theem*irical stud! of %arious t!*es of non%eral communication & setting forth the

leads that were followed u* ! later generations of nonverbalcommunication scholars.

3. The em*hasis& es*eciall! in non%eral communication& was on the out of7awareness le%el of information7e:change. Here Hall was influenced !

Sigmund 3reud& Erich 3romm& and Harr! Stack Sulli%an ?Hall& ,66/=& and !

(a!mond irdwhistell.

4. The a**roach to intercultural communication acce*ted cultural

differences and was non7judgemental & reflecting a *ers*ecti%e from

anthro*ological research and training. Here& Hall followed in the footste*s of

3ran) oas and (uth enedict in strongl! su**orting cultural relati%ism& theelief that a *articular cultural element should onl! e judged in light of its

conte:t.

5. Partici*ator! training methods were necessitated in *art ecause

intercultural communication was taught in all7da! worksho* sessions at the3oreign Ser%ice Institute to midcareer trainees who alread! had e:tensi%e

e:*erience in the field. Hall and his fellow trainers at the 3SI used simulation

games& e:ercises& and other *artici*ant7in%ol%ing methods of e:*eriential

instruction.

>. Intercultural communication egan as a highl! a**lied t!*e of training&

intended to ameliorate the lack of skills of 0.S. 'merican di*lomats and

de%elo*ment technicians.

Conclusion

The anthro*ologist Edward T. Hall& in collaoration

with the linguist Beorge L.Trager& estalished theoriginal *aradigm for intercultural communication. The

new field of intercultural communication migrated

e%entuall! into uni%ersit!7ased de*artments of

communication stud! in 0.S. uni%ersities. Se%eral

uni%ersit! de*artments of communication offer courses

in intercultural communication& ut such instruction is

also likel! to e taught in usiness schools and inde*artments of English. The eginning of intercultural

communication at the 3oreign Ser%ice Institute in the

,65-s influences this field toda!.
