Abstract

       People usually rely on languages to communicate, to express their thought or to transmit the information. But there exists another means to convey the information during human’s communication, that’s non-verbal communication, which is an ancient and convenient form. It is necessary to employ non-verbal communication to express vividly during information transmission and thought and feeling exchanging. People usually use different parts of the body to convey the message and exchange their ideas. This is so called non-verbal communication, which includes gestures, posture, facial expression, distance between speakers, clothes of communicators and so on. Body language differs from culture to culture, therefore body language in different countries means differently. So it is necessary to understand the relationship between non-verbal communication and culture clearly in the cross-cultural communication. In this paper, the writer analyzes certain types of body language, such as distance communications occurs, physical contact, eye contact, smile and laughter and so on; and then explore application of body language, such as greetings, signs of affection, physical contact and so forth; finally the writer makes a comparative study between Chinese and American body language.

摘　 要

     人类进行交流，表达思想，传递信息，主要依靠语言手段，但是，人类传递信息还有一种更有古老和更方便的形式，即非语言交流手段。人们在传递信息，交流思想感情时，如仅使用文字或言语，有时不够生动形象，因而这时就需要非语言交际。人们利用身体各部分来传递信息，交流思想。它包括手势，姿态，面部表情，交谈者之间的距离，谈话者选择衣着打扮的方法所传递的信息等等。肢体语言是随文化的改变而改变，因而不同国家的身势语所表达的意思不一定都相同，所以，在跨文化交际中，要清楚地认识非语言交际与文化之间的关系。在本文中，作者分析，某些类型的肢体语言，例如交流距离的出现，身体接触， 眼神接触，微笑和大笑等等； 然后探索运用肢体语言，如问候，表达感情， 身体接触等等；最后作者就中，美两国的肢体语言的异同进行比较研究.
