1.1 The Background of the Study
Human communication consists of verbal communication and nonverbal communication. When people speak of the communication, firstly they will think of the language which is the verbal communication. Language is an important tool, but it is not the only communicating means. In fact, in addition to language, there is a more abundant content of the means of communication that is non-verbal communication.
“Nonverbal communication is a process in which communicators u the natural features of their bodies to deliver information and express specific meaning instinctively to other c电影人工智能
ommunicators” (Guan Yanxiang, 2004:13). Nonverbal communication plays a very important role in human’s whole communication. A famous anthropologist pointed out that silent language express more information than verbal language becau it contains much information. According to some rearchers abroad, in people’s daily life, nonverbal communication takes part over 65% in all of information exchange. For example, when people tell someone how to get to the nearest hospital, they not only tell someone the direction but also pointing to the direction with hands. For instance, people greet each other with a smile. Smile functions as a supplement to the pleasure of meeting people. So it is obvious if people ignore the nonverbal communication, they will not get a complete communication.
Nonverbal communication includes many aspects. And body language is the most important part of it. 绝句古诗“In general n, the study of body language began in 1950s.
