Through language speakers express thoughts, experiences, feelings,
values and attitudes. Nevertheless, language is not only verbal
communication, as multiple devices are included in interaction in order to
make something coherent. Thus, people inform others about feelings
through a combination of verbal and non-verbal interactions. Language is
not made up exclusively of words, phrases and sentences but also of
images as it is the main resource for conveying meaning. Non-verbal
behaviour covers all forms of non-spoken human conduct possessing the
capacity to construct communicative messages. Hence, the nature of the
connection between speech and gestures has become a popular topic to
study among researchers in the field of linguistics among others.
This paper presents a multimodal evaluation of an academic speech
performed at Sanders Theater, Harvard University, September 27th, 2013,
by Malala Yousafzai, the Nobel Peace Prize winner 2014. Even though the
speech is a monologue, the speaker achieves interaction and engagement
with the audience by means of using both verbal expressions and nonlinguistic
resources throughout her presentation. This study exhibits an
evaluation of how non-linguistic resources such as paralanguage and
kinetics are used as complementary tools in spoken discourse. [-]
