#language and communication

[morguezsz]

idk man. i just think itd be really cool if sign language classes were mandatory throughout primary school. yeah because it would make communication with deaf kids and autistic/nonverbal kids much easier. and those kids would be accessible to the others so they could make friends and have healthy relationships. yeah. and kids would eat that shit up man. like their own little secret language? they love that.

Symbology: The Language of Symbols

Symbology is the study of symbols and their meanings, a field that fascinates me as it connects language, culture, and communication. Symbols are powerful; they convey complex ideas and emotions in an instant.

From the simplicity of a heart representing love to the intricate designs of cultural artifacts, symbols have a profound impact on our understanding of the world. They transcend language barriers and can evoke strong reactions, often tapping into our shared human experience.

In exploring symbology, we uncover layers of meaning that inform art, literature, religion, and daily life. Understanding symbols allows us to communicate more effectively and appreciate the nuances of different cultures.

“Mom, why do you think ghosts are intrinsically evil?”

“It’s what the science says, of course!”

“No, I mean like, what were the studies? What did they actually observe”

“Ohh, I get what you mean, Danny! Well across all reputable reports of encounters with the ghosts strong enough to matter, they’ve always attacked first and never responded to attempts at communication! There’s no reason for them to do that if they’re not evil!”

“Huh…”

…

Danny, learning about Ghost Speak and how humans can’t understand it: hmm.

Danny, learning that ghosts greet each other and bond by fighting: hmmm.

How did you two get so close?

Body Language Cheat Sheet For Writers 

╰ Facial expressions

These are your micro-signals, like the blinking neon signs of the soul. But they’re small, quick, and often lie harder than words.

Raised eyebrows — This can mean surprise or disbelief, sure. But it can also be a full-on, silent “Are you serious right now?” when someone’s being ridiculous. Or even curiosity when someone’s too emotionally repressed to askthe damn question.

Furrowed brow — That face people make when they’re doing long division in their head or trying to emotionally process a compliment. It’s thinking, yes—but also confusion, deep frustration, or quiet simmering rage.

Smiling — Can be happiness… or total fake-it-till-you-make-it energy. Some smiles are stiff. Some don’t reach the eyes. Show that.

Frowning — Sure, sadness. But also: disappointment, judgment, or the universal “I’m about to say something blunt, brace yourself.”

Lip biting — It’s not just nervousness, it’s pressure. Self-control. Anticipation. It’s the thing people do when they want to say something and decide, at the last second, not to.

╰ Eye movement

The window to the soul? Yeah. But also the window to when someone’s lying, flirting, or deeply trying not to cry in public.

Eye contact — Confidence or challenge. Eye contact can be gentle, curious, sharp like a blade. Sometimes it’s desperate: “Please understand me.”

Avoiding eye contact — Not always guilt. Sometimes it’s protectiveness. Sometimes it’s “I’m afraid if I look at you, you’ll see everything I’m trying to hide.”

Narrowed eyes — Calculating. Suspicious. The look someone gives when their brain’s saying “hmmm...” and it’s not a good hmm.

Wide eyes — Surprise, yes. But also sudden fear. The oh-God-it’s-happening look. Or when someone just found out they’re not as in control as they thought.

Eye roll — Classic. But try using it with tension, like when someone’s annoyed and trying very hard not to lose it in public.

╰ Gestures

This is where characters’ emotions go when their mouths are lying.

Crossing arms — Not just defensive. Sometimes it’s comfort. A self-hug. A barrier when the conversation is getting too personal.

Fidgeting — This is nervous energy with nowhere to go. Watch fingers tapping, rings spinning, sleeves tugged. It says: I’m not okay, but I’m trying not to show it.

Pointing — It’s a stab in the air. Aggressive, usually. But sometimes a desperate plea: Look. Understand this.

Open palms — Vulnerability. Honesty. Or a gesture that says, “I have nothing left to hide.”

Hand on chin — Not just thinking. It’s stalling. It’s delaying. It’s “I’m about to say something that might get me in trouble.”

╰ Posture and movement

These are your vibes. How someone occupies space says everything.

Slumped shoulders — Exhaustion. Defeat. Or someone trying to take up less space because they feel small.

Upright posture — Not always confidence. Sometimes it’s forced. Sometimes it’s a character trying really, really hard to look like they’re fine.

Pacing — Inner chaos externalized. Thinking so loudly it needs movement. Waiting for something. Running from your own thoughts.

Tapping foot — Tension. Irritation. Sometimes a buildup to an explosion.

Leaning in — Intimacy. Interest. Or subtle manipulation. (You matter to me. I’m listening. Let’s get closer.)

╰ Touch

This is intimacy in all its forms, comforting, protective, romantic, or invasive.

Hugging — Doesn’t always mean closeness. Could be a goodbye. Could be an apology they can’t say out loud. Could be awkward as hell.

Handshake — Stiff or crushing or slippery. How someone shakes hands says more than their words do.

Back patting — Casual warmth. Bro culture. Awkward emotional support when someone doesn’t know how to comfort but wants to try.

Clenched fists — Holding something in. Rage, tears, restraint. Fists mean tension that needs somewhere to go.

Hair tuck — Sure, flirtation or nerves. But also a subtle shield. A way to hide. A habit from childhood when someone didn’t want to be seen.

╰ Mirroring:

If two characters start syncing their body language, something is happening. Empathy. Chemistry. Shared grief. If someone shifts their body when the other does? Take notice. Other human bits that say everything without words...

Nodding — Not just yes. Could be an “I hear you,” even if they don’t agree. Could be the “keep going” nod. Could be patronizing if done too slow.

Crossed legs — Chill. Casual. Or closed-off, depending on context. Especially if their arms are crossed too.

Finger tapping — Time is ticking. Brain is pacing. Something’s coming.

Hand to chest — Sincerity, yes. But also shock. Or grounding—a subconscious attempt to stay present when everything feels like too much.

Tilting the head — Curiosity. Playfulness. Or someone listening so hard they forget to hide it.

Temple rub — “I can’t deal.” Could be physical pain. Could be stress. Could be emotional overload in disguise.

Chin stroking — Your classic “I’m judging you politely.” Often used in arguments between characters pretending to be calm.

Hands behind the back — Authority. Control. Or rigid fear masked as control.

Leaning body — This is the body betraying the brain. A tilt toward someone means they care—even if their words are cold.

Nail biting — Classic anxiety. But also habit. Something learned. Sometimes people bite because that’s how they self-soothe.

Squinting — Focusing. Doubting. Suspicion without confrontation.

Shifting weight — Uncomfortable. Unsure. Someone who wants to leave but doesn’t.

Covering the mouth — Guilt. Hesitation. The “should I say this?” moment before something big drops.

Body language is more honest than dialogue. If you really want to show your character’s internal world, don’t just give them lines. Give them a hand that won’t stop shaking. Give them a foot that won’t stop bouncing. Give them a mouth that smiles when their eyes don’t. And if you’re not sure what your character would do in a moment of fear, or love, or heartbreak, try acting it out yourself. Seriously. Get weird. Feel what your body does. Then write that down.

In the world of language and communication, interpreters play a crucial role in bridging the gap between individuals who speak different languages. Two common methods of interpretation are consecutive interpreting and simultaneous interpreting. Each method has its own unique characteristics and applications. In this blog, Metaphrasis explore the differences between consecutive and simultaneous interpreting, shedding light on their distinct features, challenges, and advantages.

Consecutive Interpreting: Bridging the Gap Step by Step

Definition and Process

Consecutive interpreting is a method where the interpreter listens to the speaker and takes notes while the speaker talks. The interpreter then renders the message in the target language after the speaker has finished speaking. This method is often used in settings such as business meetings, legal proceedings, and small group discussions.

Advantages

Accuracy: Consecutive interpreters have the advantage of time to carefully process and convey the message accurately.

Clarity: Listeners can fully understand the message without the potential distraction of a simultaneous voice in the background.

Note-taking: Interpreters can take notes for reference, helping to ensure precision.

Challenges

Time-Consuming: Consecutive interpreting can be time-consuming, especially in lengthy discussions, as it doubles the time required.

Memory: Interpreters must rely on their memory to maintain the context, which can be challenging.

Disruption: The need to pause frequently can disrupt the flow of the conversation.

Simultaneous Interpreting: Real-Time Communication

Definition and Process

Simultaneous interpreting, on the other hand, involves interpreters providing translation in real-time as the speaker talks. This method is commonly seen in large conferences, international summits, and live broadcasts.

Advantages

Real-Time Communication: Simultaneous interpreting allows for seamless communication without pauses.

Efficiency: It is highly efficient for large events where time is of the essence.

Immediate Understanding: Listeners receive information instantly, reducing the risk of missing crucial details.

Challenges

Stressful: Simultaneous interpreting can be mentally taxing due to the need for rapid thinking and speaking.

Equipment: It often requires specialized equipment and soundproof booths.

Lack of Precision: There is less time for interpreters to ensure complete accuracy, potentially leading to minor errors.

Which Method Is Right for You?

The choice between consecutive and simultaneous interpreting depends on the specific context and requirements of the situation. Consecutive interpreting excels in smaller, more intimate settings where precision is paramount. Simultaneous interpreting, on the other hand, shines in large, time-sensitive events where real-time communication is crucial.

Conclusion

In the realm of language and communication, interpreters serve as essential bridges between cultures and languages. Consecutive and simultaneous interpreting are two distinct approaches, each with its own set of advantages and challenges. Understanding the differences between these methods is vital for both interpreters and those in need of their services.

Something that peeves me whenever I see another post going around with some variation on "autistic people take things literally which means we are the only people who communicate Clearly and Directly" is that - for any given statement, there is not one singular, agreed on, universal Literal Interpretation. If there was, none of this would be a problem!

The nature of language is that there's always some degree of interpretability. Words have several different meanings, often overlapping, and there's nuance of context, cultural references, and so on.

Faced with a statement, most people will quickly come up with an interpretation that to them makes the most sense. But if you asked a roomful of people to explain in detail their interpretations, everyone's would probably be a little different, even for a pretty simple statement. Regardless of whether those people are autistic! Everyone conceptualizes the world a little differently, and everyone has a unique personal history of all the language they've encountered, and these things effect our interpretations.

In order for communication to be workable, given this slosh in interpretability, there's another couple of processes that go on. As conversation goes on, people reassess if their initial interpretation matches up with additional context. If it doesn't, they revise it, or ask clarifying questions. And on the flipside of this process, the other person in conversation is tracking if your reactions make sense with *their* understanding of what they're trying to convey to you, and offering context or rephrasing things if it seems you're out of alignment.

These processes are social skillsets that are, like most social skillsets, not ever directly articulated or explained. Many people are bad at one or both. Sometimes you encounter someone who is really, notably good at it - the vaunted "good listener", who puts in the effort to really understand what you're trying to say, or that really excellent teacher who engages with you back and forth until you really get it. But a lot of the time, it's a sort of passive social friction - people just not getting each other.

Sometimes, you encounter someone whose brain works so much like yours that talking to them feels almost effortless - you just get each other. But that's a pretty rare occurrence for anyone. More often, as you get to know someone, you start to understand the shape of the way they interpret things and learn to account for it, so over time it's easier to make sense to each other.

It's honestly not uncommon in society for people to aggregate in groups of people who interpret things similarly, and who are thus easier to talk to, rather than actually building the skills of communicating across interpretation gaps. Particularly egregious are those groups of men who talk about Women as an incomprehensible monolith, but it turns up to a greater or lesser degree on a lot of levels.

I suspect this is the root of a lot of parenting problems - people who have never built this communication skillset, and relied on choosing friends who make sense to them without a lot of effort, and who are then totally unprepared to interact with a child who interprets things in ways they don't expect.

Obviously I can't speak to The Universal Typical Experience, not least because it doesn't exist. But in general I would posit that:

Most people, give or take a few assholes, are not trying to say things that are confusing. Most people think they are communicating clearly, because the first interpretation *they* would come up with on hearing one of their own sentences is the correct interpretation.

Many people are not very good at accounting for different ways people could interpret things they're saying. However, it is normal and polite social behavior to be somewhat flexible about this and forgiving of misunderstandings. If people are being shitty to you about not understanding them, they are assholes. And I wouldn't assume that the rest of the communication they have with everyone else they know goes totally smoothly for them.

I suspect there is a bit of an unfortunate feedback loop, where people have bad experiences when someone gets mad at them for not getting something, and learn to hide when they're confused. Which then leads to larger, more complicated misunderstandings, which other different people get upset at them about, because those people think they should have asked for clarification in the first place.

Truly you can't win with everyone. No one can win with everyone. There is no monolith of "neurotypical communication" which resolves all these contradictions - all those people you're lumping in together under "neurotypical" have just as much trouble with each other.

Aspects of Thought

The intricate workings of the human mind have captivated philosophers, psychologists, and thinkers for centuries. At the heart of this exploration lies the fascinating realm of thought—a multifaceted tapestry woven from cognitive processes, experiences, and dimensions that shape our understanding of the world. Let's explore some of the various aspects of thought:

Conceptualization: Thought involves the ability to form abstract concepts and mental representations of objects, ideas, or experiences. It is the foundation for categorization, understanding relationships, and creating mental frameworks.

Reasoning and Logic: Thought encompasses the capacity for logical thinking, deductive and inductive reasoning, and problem-solving. It involves drawing conclusions from premises and evaluating the coherence of arguments.

Creativity and Imagination: Imagination is a central aspect of thought, allowing us to generate novel ideas, envision alternative scenarios, and engage in creative processes such as art, literature, and innovation.

Critical Thinking: Thought includes the ability to analyze, evaluate, and assess information and ideas critically. It involves questioning assumptions, identifying biases, and making informed judgments.

Memory and Recall: Thought encompasses the retrieval of past experiences, knowledge, and information from memory. It allows us to draw upon our stored mental database to make connections and solve problems.

Problem-Solving: Thought plays a crucial role in identifying challenges, formulating strategies, and devising solutions to overcome obstacles or achieve goals.

Language and Communication: Thought is closely linked to language, enabling us to express ideas, convey meaning, and engage in complex communication with others.

Emotional Processing: Thought involves the processing of emotions, including introspection, self-awareness, and the interpretation of emotional states.

Decision-Making: Thought guides the process of making choices among various options, considering factors such as values, goals, consequences, and ethical considerations.

Intuition and Gut Feelings: While often mysterious, thought encompasses intuitive insights and gut feelings that arise from the subconscious and inform our decisions and actions.

Metacognition: Thought includes metacognition, which is the ability to think about and monitor one's own cognitive processes, such as planning, evaluating, and reflecting on one's thoughts.

Abstraction and Generalization: Thought allows us to abstract specific instances into general principles or concepts, enabling us to apply knowledge to a wide range of situations.

Belief Formation: Thought involves the formation of beliefs, opinions, and worldviews based on evidence, experience, and personal or cultural influences.

Moral and Ethical Reflection: Thought encompasses the contemplation of moral and ethical issues, leading to the development of ethical frameworks and principles.

Dreaming and Subconscious Processing: Thought extends into the realm of dreaming and subconscious processing during sleep, contributing to memory consolidation and emotional processing.

Social and Interpersonal Thinking: Thought involves understanding and navigating social dynamics, empathy, and perspective-taking in interactions with others.

Conceptual Shifts and Paradigm Changes: Thought has the power to drive paradigm shifts and revolutions in fields of knowledge, leading to new ways of understanding the world.

The myriad aspects of thought converge to form a rich and intricate cognitive landscape, a tapestry of processes that define our humanity. From reasoning and memory to creativity and intuition, each facet adds depth and complexity to our understanding of the world. As we navigate the labyrinth of our minds, we find that it is within this tapestry of thought that our essence as thinking, feeling beings truly unfolds.
