Definition
"The term proxemics was introduced by biologist anthropologist Edward T. Hall in 1966. Proxemics is the study of set measurable distances between people as they interact" (Hall, 1966).
"Body spacing and posture, according to Hall, are unintentional reactions to sensory fluctuations or shifts, such as subtle changes in the sound and pitch of a person's voice. Social distance between people is reliably correlated with physical distance, as are intimate and personal distance..." [1].
"Auxiliary communication devices that generally assure clarity by transmitting the same message in different ways at the same time. These include variations in tone and character of voice along with such non-verbal forms of communication as kinesics, proxemics, clothing, and makeup". http://anthro.palomar.edu/tutorials/cglossary.htm
