Abstract
Interface between verbal and non verbal dimensions : Understanding the mechanism of verbal violence in class. Based on an interactive linguistic analysis of two exchanges between teachers and pupils, we questioned the articulation between the verbal and non verbal dimensions of a verbal rise in tension to a physical realization. The verbal analysis was conducted through the study of speech acts and their organization, while the non-verbal analysis was carried out by considering different mimogestural (gaze, mimics, cospeech gestures) and proxemic accomplishments of the interactions.
