O pozajęzykowych rodzajach wypowiedzi i sposobach ich istnienia

Abstract

The subject of the article is the issue of broadly-defined communication between people, which is, however, not only limited to verbal transfer of information. Communication is seen from the linguistic point of view, but its verbal aspect is not the most important here. The focal points are mainly the mime language, gestures, or the proxemics code, as well as the utterances which are implied by the artistic activity. Thus, the article is an attempt to answer the question what is and what is not an utterance, but above all it contemplates the possibility of utterances existing without language.
