Write an essay that explores the nature and the power of non-verbal language in everyday communication between human and human, and human and animal. Besides Week 1 and 2 lectures and readings, a very good starting point for external sources would be Charles Hockett’s book, The View from Language: Selected Essays 1948-1974. You will also find important (and fun) research material in the documentaries (such as PBS documentary, NOVA scienceNOW: How Smart are Animals? Or Dolphins (IMAX). Also, see various National Geographic and BBC documentaries on animal world), as well as in contemporary news reports.
