Taxonomy Of Sonovergent And Semovergent Paralanguage

Martin & Zappavigna (2019: 20, 24):

Multidimensionality (multiplying meaning)

The sonovergent and semovergent paralinguistic systems discussed thus far are outlined in Fig. 38 (including cross-references to Cléirigh’s original terminology).

This is potentially misleading.  To be clear, this taxonomy simply represents Cléirigh's original model with:

1. body language rebranded as paralanguage,
2. linguistic (body language) rebranded as sonovergent (paralanguage),
3. epilinguistic (body language) rebranded as semovergent (paralanguage), and
4. protolinguistic (body language) omitted altogether.

However, as demonstrated in previous posts, the authors seriously misunderstand and misapply the model they are rebranding here as their own.
