Abstract

This study deals with non-verbal behaviour in a video-recorded and manually annotated corpus of first encounters in Danish. It presents an analysis of head movements and facial expressions in the data, in particular their use to express feedback, and it discusses the results in the light of aspects of Danish culture that seem to privilege rather unconventional and non-emotional behaviour. The data provided can form the basis of multi-cultural studies where parallels are drawn to similar interactions in other languages.
