Abstract

Language is a medium of communication that is pivotal to daily life interaction, any disability in using it, including aphasia, causes frustration, feeling lonely, isolation, and alienation due to fear of rejection. Many ways can be used in the treatment of speech and language disorders, such as smartphones and laptops. This study aims at investigating the use of technological devices such as computers and smartphone apps and programs by people with aphasia to enhance communication and enable them to produce and understand spoken and written language. It also aims at stating the age group that most use these technological devices. The researchers built a questionnaire of ten questions concerning which age category is aphasic and which type of major and secondary technological programs and apps are used by them to facilitate communication. Based on the results gained from the questionnaire, the researchers found that the highest range of aphasic people are 45-55 years old, while the lowest are 15-25 years old. Applications of smart phones and computers are widely and effectively used by aphasiac, in addition to social media, in facilitating their communications especially the spoken skills.

Abstract

This study investigates silence as a nonverbal manner of communication cross-culturally in Arabic to expose if it is as powerful as the verbal communication. It concentrates on the distinct types, forms and functions of silence in different contexts and the way it is perceived by the communicators. The study concluded that silence has a great value cross-culturally in Arabic, and is as effective as speech in transmitting messages and serving the goal of the interaction. Speech and silence are closely related and exist almost in every interaction. Each way has an important function and that they come to have greater effect when used together. Silence has many exceptional functions aside from accepting a matter or refusing it such as preserving other’s dignity and making them avoid behaving impolitely. Silence acts as a face-saving such as dumb founded and as a face-threatening technique such as cunning.
