跨文化的非言语交际-英文版

“Actions speak louder than words.” On one hand, non-verbal language can help smooth out and effect the communication; on the other hand, it can be more of a hindrance than help, due to different cultures' details in intercultural communication. Therefore, it's important to be aware of these details and cultural rules of non-verbal language to help our interpretation of a message, and also to modify our behavior to fit the cultural situation we're in.

•Eye contact •The important rules concerning eye contact focus on when to look and how long to look at another person, in addition to who is and who is not to look at the other person. The appropriate rules vary from one culture to another. •Usually, when sitting opposite a stranger there are two responses that can occur, depending on the person's culture and the situation. Either there is no eye contact made, or behaving in a friendly manner by naturally glancing at the other person and remaining silent, or even exchanging small talk. •When speaking in public, frequently looking at your audience is the normal practice.

The Differences of Non-verbal Communication in Different Cultures It‟s often said that if we want to be understood by others, we need to speak out. As a matter of fact, words are not always effective to express our feeling, especially when dealing with people from different cultures. Then, as Socrates agreed, our body can convey some information. Therefore, when communicating with people from other cultures, the differences of non-verbal communication, such as gestures, facial expressions, eye contact and body distance, may have great impact on communication, which makes a better understanding of the differences of non-verbal communication in different cultures quite necessary. In the following, gestures and eye contact will be mainly discussed.Gestures are an important component of non-verbal communication. As with any other language, the language of gestures also differs from culture to culture, and the same gesture may convey quite different messages. The U.S. former President, Richard Nixon once got a frosty reception when he landed on a visit to one South American country and came out of the aircraft with both hands held high showing the ring gesture---form an …O‟ by holding the tip of the forefinger to the tip of the thumb. In American culture, the ring gesture means that you think something is good, but in the country President visited, it means …go to hell‟. Similar problems occur in other countries, too. For instance, in France, you may be misunderstood if you use the ring gesture to show your opinion to their new house, because it means zero and worthless. In Tunisia, it may cause a greater problem for it means …I‟ll kill you‟ in its culture. In Japan, it means money. Beckoning can also lead to misunderstanding. For example, in America, people use the index finger to beckon someone to come to you, while it would be considered impolite in Malaysia where it is only use to beckon animals. In Australia it means to beckon …ladies of the night‟. So, when confronting with people from other cultures, we need to be very careful in order not to be misunderstood.“Eye is the window of soul.”Eye contact is also very important when communicating with others. For public speakers, they should always make a lot of eye contact to audience to see their responds---whether they are interested in the speech, whether they can understand, etc. But when to look and how long to look are not easy job for an international person. For British, not looking at the person could imply many things, such as fear, uneasiness, guilt or indifference. However, it doesn‟t mean that the more eye contact, the better. When walking along the street, you mustn‟t stare at the approaching strangers when they are about 8 feet away, because it‟s rude behavior. But in China, people tend to be very curious about new things and looked at them intensely, which may make British and American embarrassed when they first come to China.In short, body language, like our verbal language, is of great significance in sending messages. It may make the communication easier and more effective, and also may cause misunderstandings. No matter under what circumstance, a better way to avoid problems is to “do as the Romans do.”。

跨文化交际NonverbalcommunicationinourlifeNonverbal communication in our lifeNonverbal communication is a process in which communicators use the natural features of their bodies to deliver information and express specific meaning instinctively to the other communicator. It plays a very important role in our daily communication. The study of nonverbal communication covers three major parts: Kinesics or Body language, Space language, and paralanguage.Body language refers to all nonverbal codes which are associated with body movements. Body language includes gestures, head movements, facial expressions, eye behaviors, postures and other displays that can be used to communicate. For example, thumbs up means yes, very good, or well done, and thumbs down means the opposite. Keep our fingers crossed means that the person is hoping for good luck in the United States, England, and Sweden. But in Greece and Turkey it means the breaking of a friendship, and in parts of Italy it means “O.K.”, etc.Space language means body distance and body touch.Anthropologist Edward T. Hall described four levels of social distance that occur in different situations:Intimate distance - 6 to 18 inches.Personal distance - 1.5 to 4 feet.Social distance - 4 to 12 feet.Public distance - 12 to 25 feetWhen we have a closer relationship, we often make some intimate contact such as hugging, whispering, or touching. Between family members or close friends often have Personaldistance. The closer the people can comfortably stand while interacting can be an indicator of the intimacy of the relationship. In cases where you do not know the other person well, such as a postal delivery driver you only see once a month, a distance of 10 to 12 feet may feel more comfortable. Public distance is often used in public speaking situations. T alking in front of a class full of students or giving a presentation at work is good examples of such situations.Paralanguage studies speech qualities such as its pitch (highness or lowness of voice), pace (speed), volume (loudness) and, in some cases, enunciation. Potentially, your voice has the power to engage, charm, encourage, motivate, persuade, or gain people’s attention and trust. Just as, if used incorrectly, it can alter the meaning of your message and give people the wrong impression about your true personality, making you sound unprofessional, indecisive or, vice versa, pushy and demanding.The function of nonverbal communication is so great. It can reiterate verbal communication. Repeating is sequential not simultaneous. For instance, your significant other asks if you are having an affair. First you shake your head no. Then you say “No”。

She consciously kept a certain distance between her and the man before her. However, the old man standing behind her consistently asked her to move forward and didn’t like to have much space left between any two customers waiting to use ATM.

２０１０·０８ZHI SHI CHUANG16论文展台跨文化交流中的非言语交际Part Ⅰ.Introduction“Nonverbal communication ”,like our verbal language,is also a part of our culture.But not all nonverbal communication means the same thing in differ-ent cultures.Different people have different ways of making nonverbal communication.In order to communicate effectively in a foreign language,one should know also the gestures,body movements,mannerisms and etc.that accompany a par-ticular language.Observation shows that a truly bilingual per-son switches his nonverbal be-havior at the same time he switches languages.This makes communication easier and better.Part Ⅱ.The Necessity and Importance of Learning Nonv-erbal Communication in Cross-Cultural CommunicationWe could easily find that the same posture may have dif-ferent meanings in different cul-ture.For example,touching one's ear is protection against the evil eye in Turkey,however,it denotes jeering at effeminacy in southern Italy,but a sign of re-pentance or sincerity in India;crossing one's legs means a sign of being relaxed in the United States,but it is impolite in Chi-na.The above tow examples remind us that although much of nonverbal communication is universal,many of our nonverbal actions are touched and altered by culture.Hence,we should know the potential messages carried by the nonverbal behav-iors if we want to establish communication with foreigners without obstacles.Nonverbal communication is an important media through which people communicate with each other.It refers to the pat-terns of facial expressions and gestures that people use to ex-press their feelings in communi-cation.The specialist on non-verbal communication research —fle.Angles,once said:“Once it was lost,a baby couldn ’t have grown into a normal person ”.It s also true to the juveniles.In school educa-tion,nonverbal communication plays a positive role in cultivat-ing the students characters.Part III.The Functions of Nonverbal Communication and Application in Daily Life1.Nonverbal communication plays important role in commu -nication when existence of obsta -cle in verbal communicationWe all know that dumb person use their gestures and body languages to communicate.If a person was born to dumb and deaf,he could not under-stand all the verbal language since he was a baby.How could other people communicate with him?He must learn a special sign language —a kind of non-verbal language.Only he learn the sign language,can he com-municate and exchange thoughts with other people.From this real example,we can understand the significance of nonverbal communication.2.Sometimes it is better to use nonverbal communication than verbal communicationNowadays,almost every young people have got a cell phone,including me.If we only use cell phone to make a call,day by day,we are surprised to find how much we cost at the end of the month.In order to save money,most people choose to send short messages,which is摘要：非言语交际是跨文化交流的重要手段。

Non-verbal Communication in Intercultural CommunicationDuring the process of intercultural communication, people pay more attention to verbal communication and ignore non-verbal communication. However, non-verbal communication plays an important role in intercultural communication. If we ignore the non-verbal communication, communicating with each other will be impeded by the differences of understanding of the non-verbal communication. So, if we communicated with foreigners smoothly and successfully, we must pay more attention to the differences of non-verbal. Therefore, this paper will focus on the non-verbal communication to avoid misunderstanding.1.The study on non-verbal communication1.1 The definition of non-verbal communicationWe do not only communicate our thoughts and feelings through the use of words, we also convey our ideas and experiences through non-verbal channels. Non-verbal communication is commonly used to describe all human events which transcend spoken or written words. That is to say, it refers to all those communication except verbal behavior.1.2The study on non-verbal communication abroadThe scientific study of non-verbal communication primarily started after World War II. One of the most influential pre-twentieth centuryworks was Darwin’s Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals in 1872. This work spawned the modern study of facial expression. In 1950s, there was a significant increase in the number of non-verbal research efforts. In 1956, Ruesch and Kees produced a book entitled Non-verbal Communication: Notes on the Visual Perception of Human Relations. This was the first book to use the term nonverbal communication in its title. The 1960s produced a nuclear explosion of nonverbal studies. There were extensive studies on specific areas of eye behavior, personal space and pauses. The 1970s proved to be a mature period on non-verbal studies. The 1980s were a time of further development of non-verbal communication studies. Some non-verbal researches focused on identifying the ways a variety of non-verbal signals work together to accomplish common communicative goals.1.3The study on non-verbal communication at homeThe research on non-verbal behavior in our country began from 1980s. Scholars such as Hu Wenzhong, Bi Jiewan, Den Yanchang and Liu Runqing have done some research work. There is an increasing amount of research findings in this area. However, it is far from enough. Most of people still pay less attention to non-verbal communication.In summary, seeing the non-verbal communication from domestic and foreign perspectives, many scholars begin to pay more attention to the non-verbal communication.2.The classifications of non-verbal communicationMany scholars have different definitions of the classifications of non-verbal communication. I make a generalization of the classifications of non-verbal communication based on He Daokuan’s opinion and the textbook of dynamic intercultural communication.1) Kinesics, including posture, gestures, facial expressions, eye contact and touching.2) Chronemics, consisting of informal time (pace of walk and life, and punctuality), perceptions of past, present, and future; and monochromic and polyphonic time.3) Proxemics, about attitude toward spatial distance and arrangements, territoriality.4) Paralanguage, comprising non-verbal sounds and silence;5) Object language, made up of general appearance, dress, smell, and personal artifacts.3. The differences of non-verbal behavior between China and AmericaA great deal of non-verbal behavior is rooted in our culture. Non-verbal behaviors are not innate and influenced by the native culture. Chinese culture is different from American culture. Chinese culture isinfluenced by Confucius ideology. American culture is influenced by Christian ideology. Different cultures lead to different non-verbal behaviors. So I will analyze the differences of non-verbal behaviors between china and America.3.1 I will analyze the differences of proxemics between china and America.3.1.1 I will analyze the differences of postures between china and America.Due to different values and norms, different postures appear between china and America. Americans pay more attention to informality; however, Chinese pay more attention to formality and rigid rules. For example, when American students answer the teachers’questions, they don’t need to stand up to answer the teachers’questions. However, Chinese students must stand up to answer the teachers’ questions to show the respect for the teachers.3.1.2 I will analyze the differences of gestures between china and America.Different gestures have different meanings between china and America. For example, in America, people can point to objects and even at people with the index finger, while in china pointing with the index finger is considered rude.3.1.3 Thirdly, I will analyze the differences of facial expressions between china and America. Different facial expressions have different understandings in the different contexts between china and America. For example: when receiving praise, Americans respond “thank you”with smile. However, in china, this behavior may be considered too conceited.3.1.4 Fourthly, I will analyze the differences of eye contact between china and America. Different cultures have the different customs of using eye contact. In America, when children communicate with adults, they use eye contact with each other appropriately to show the character of honesty. However, in china, when children communicate with adults, they always don’t use eye contact straightly in order to show the respect for adults.3.1.5 Fifthly, I will analyze the differences of touch between china and America. The touch behaviors between china and America are great. For example, the behavior of kissing is open in public to express the meaning of welcome in America. However, in china, the behavior of kissing is not accepted in public.3.2 I will analyze the differences of Chronemics between china and America3.2.1 Chronemics is the study of time. The Chinese concept of time is different from the American concept of time. Americans pay moreattention to punctuality. They always say that time is money. We should not waste our time unless we were doing some things. However, Chinese pay less attention to punctuality. We always say that please take it easy. 3.2.2 The differences of monochromic and polychromic between china and America. Monochromic refers to do only one thing at any one time. People in America tend to do only one activity at a time. However, polychromic refers to do more than one activity at a time. People in china tend to do more than one activity at a time. For example, it is not strange to see shop assistants calculate price for one customer, show another customer goods, and greet to their acquaintances simultaneously.3.3 I will analyze the differences of proxemics between china and America.Proxemics includes spatial distance, spatial arrangements, and people’s attitudes towards territoriality.3.3.1 I will analyze the differences of spatial distance between china and America.Generally speaking, American culture that stresses individualism demands more space than Chinese culture that stresses collectivism. Americans try hard to avoid close contact with each other on buses and other public vehicles. However, in china, where any seats are not reserved on bus, three or four people may crowd together.3.3.2 I will analyze the differences of spatial arrangements between chinaand America. In America, the students’seats are arranged in a round circle. They tend to talk with those opposite them rather than those seated and standing by them. However, in china, the Chinese often experience alienation and uneasiness when they face someone directly or sit on opposite sides of a desk or a table from someone; it makes them feel as if they are on trial.3.3.3 I will analyze the differences of territoriality between china and America. In America, they pay more attention to the personal territoriality. They do not touch others’possessions without others’permission. However, in china, we always touch each other’s possessions to show friendliness.3.4 I will analyze the differences of paralanguage between china and America.3.4.1 I will analyze the differences of nonverbal sound between china and America. Due to the different social and living circumstances, Chinese tend to speak in a loud manner to convey the necessary information. However, Americans only make a speech in a loud manner. At the same time, quite a few Chinese words have double vowels which make Chinese language sound louder.3.4.2 I will analyze the differences of silence between china and America. Americans hold a kind of positive attitude towards silence. However, Chinese hold a kind of negative attitude towards silence. For example, inrespond to the question “will you marry me?” silence in America would be interpreted as a kind of uncertainty or refusal. However, in china, silence would be interpreted as acceptance.3.5 I will analyze the differences of object language between china and America.3.5.1 I will analyze the differences of general appearance between china and America. Americans pay more attention to the general appearance on formal and informal occasions respectively. However, Chinese rarely distinguish the general appearance on formal and informal occasions.3.5.2 I will analyze the differences of color between china and America. For example, in china, red means some good things. However, in America, red signals violence.In summary, there are some differences among kinesics, chronemics, proxemics, paralanguage and object language between china and America.。
