人类多模态传播的研究架构

A Framework for Studying Human Multimodal Communication

人类生活对传播技术的需求越来越大,人际传播问题因此受到学界广泛关注。针对人类面对面交际(face-to-face communication)中涉及的一些重要功能(包括交互式传播管理和自我的传播管理)与过程,可考察传播内容、传播取向和传播的动态系统。多模态传播(multimodal communication)通过多种感知与生产模式,同时并连续地共同激活、共享和共建信息。通过对影响人类传播的几种最重要因素(如:社会活动、个性与国家—民族文化)的考察,可对传播、语言和文化的定义进行界定,论述传播的内容与对话的动态反应,并提供一种具体传播的模态,它涉及意识和意向性的几种层面(分别为:指示层面、表现层面和信号层面)。通过讨论面对面交际和传播技术之间的关联,可知传播技术使得人类可以超越时空阻隔,但同时也失却了时空共同在场的丰富性。

Human life has a growing demand for communication technology and interpersonal communication,therefore,is concerned by scholars.Through some important functions （including interactive communication management and own communication management） and processes involved in faceto-face communication,communication content,orientation,and dynamic system can be examined.Multimodal communication means several perceptive and productive models jointly,simultaneously,and continually activate,share,and build information.Communication,language,and culture are defined through a description of some most important factors that affects human communication （social activity,personality,and national-ethnic culture）.This paper analyses the dynamic response between the content of communication and dialogue and presents a embodied communication model which involves several levels of awareness and intentionality （directive,expressive,signal）.A discussion of the relation between face-toface communication and communication technology finds that communication technology enables human beings to go beyond the spatial and temporal barriers but at the same time causes a loss of the rich spatial and temporal presence.
