| To scholars of chronemics, the study of time as it relates to communication, this would be unsurprising. |
| Typically overlooked in nonverbal communication are proxemics, or the informal space around the body and chronemics. |
| As Pink and other experts on chronemics note, we think of time as something that happens to us, as if all we can do is survive within it. |
| Like proxemics, chronemics has also proliferated in meaning so that it not only includes time, but also the number of times as well as timing. |
| The concept of time is of such critical importance that communication pundits have coined the term chronemics to describe the use of time in interpersonal communication. |
