Body Language

uction

With the progress of society and the increasing of the openness, cross cultural communication

has become increasingly frequent. Many people began to go out of the country. At the same time,

more

and

more

foreigners

are

coming

to

china.

In

different

cultural

environment,

language

learning is important. However, the language learning and use need to spend time and energy to

learn.

By

comparison,

body

language

is

simple

and

convenient.

Body

language

contains

many

aspects

of

the

body,

and

even

some

body

language

is

expressed

by

the

emotion

can

not

be

replaced

by

the

words

of

the

language.

Body

language

has

a

long

history,

from

the

birth

of

occasion

of

the

body,

the

body

language

is

born.

So

many

body

language

in

different

cultural

areas can be interlinked. However, due to the differences in cultural differences, there are some

body

language

can

not

be

shared. Some

body

language

can

express

different

meanings

or

even

opposite meanings. Therefore, it is very necessary to understand and learn body language for our

communication in different cultural fields.

tion of body language

It’s widely

-considered that body language is body positions and movements, as the traditional,

narrow definition of body language in the Oxford English Dictionary: ―body language –

noun-the

conscious

and

unconscious

movements

and

postures

by

which

attitudes

and

feelings

are

communicated [for example]: his intent was

clearly expressed in his body language.‖ Obviously,

Body

language

is

more

than

body

positions

and

movements

and

concludes

position

bodies

，

closeness

to

and

space

between

people,

facial

expressions,

eye

contact

(movement

and

focus),

connect non-bodily things, ,less noticeable physical effects (breathing, heartbeat and perspiration).

Additionally, the volume, variation, pauses, pace, etc., of voice could also be seen as one part of

body language.

Controversially

traditional

opinions

hold

that

body

language

m

ust

have

body

or

limbs’

movement

or

change,

as

one

part

of

communication,

body

language

includes

reaction

of

body,

change

of

facial

expression,

etc.,

not

only

body

movements.

V

oice

type

is

most

likely

to

be

ignored as one kind of body language like making voice, control voice, and it is an indispensable

element

in

communications

and

helping

communications.

Additionally,

some

unconscious

body

reactions and facial expression belong to body language, for example a man’s face will be white

and sweat when he is nervous or frightened.
