This chapter provides an overview of some of the most important functions and processes involved in human face-to-face communication. Special attention is given to multimodal communication. It also gives an overview of the most important factors (e.g. social activity, personality and national-ethnic culture) that influence human communication. The chapter provides definitions for communication, language and culture. It discusses the contents of communication and the dynamics of dialog and presents a model of embodied communication, involving several levels of awareness and intentionality. Finally, there is a discussion of the relation between face-to-face communication and communication technology.
