Re: HumanML Write Version 0.2 Beta

Do you think that the Proxemic and Haptic Module should also include a
Chronemic selection?  Or would this fall under a different area?

Interesting reference related to MUD's

Pauses and their uses are important phenomena in the study of vocalics,
however pauses on MUDs are quite a different object of scrutiny. As
such, they will be treated in the Chronemics section below.


Chronemics
The use of time as a communicative channel can be a powerful, if subtle,
force in face to face interactions. While it can evoke strong emotional
reactions (e.g., when someone is late for an important or symbolic
event), it can be difficult for a group or dyad to recognize shared
perceptions of time, hence it can be of ambiguous meaning. In addition,
cultural conceptions of the importance of time vary widely, which can
lead to further confusion and ambiguity.
