跨文化交际视角下的中西方肢体语言差异跨文化交际视角下的中西方肢体语言差异姓名:XX 学院:外国语学院专业:英语年级:2009级学号:XXXXXX摘要肢体语言(body language)又称身势语言,是表示使用身体运动或动作来代替或辅助声音、口头言语或其他交流方式进行交流的一种方式的一个术语。

其之所以能够被称之为语言,主要在于它的信息通报性。

肢体语言和我们所学习的语言一样,它作为一种特殊的语言也是不可被忽视的文化的一部分。

它之所以具有着不可忽视的作用是因为它能够在学习和运用语言的过程中通过肢体的不同动作把我们想要表达出的话语以及内部实质意义更为深刻鲜明的表现出来,肢体语言能够更好地促进语言的交流,我们都知道,不论是以中国为代表的东方国家还是以欧美为代表的西方国家都有着肢体语言的存在,除了一些世界公认的肢体语言以外,不同的国家肢体语言还有着其不同的语言内涵,了解东西方不同的肢体语言有助于我们更为深入地了解西方文化,更好的增进我们语言的进修。

AbstractBody language is a part of intercultural communication. Body language, as is universally known, means elements in nonverbal communication produced by body. Such as movement, facial expressions, eye contact and so on. Use body language to express emotion almostly is a instincts of human itself. It is widely used in reality life Because of its simple、fast、directly. except some admittedly body languages, different cultures have different body languages. When you process an intercultural communication, the same body language form probably shows different meaning. This article intends to compare the difference of body language with different culture,present its meaning and talk it briefly so that we can improve our communication skills and abilities by understanding it wellKeywords:body language;interculturcommunication;applicationIntroduction:Intercultural communication , means the interaction between people from different background.In nowadays, economy globlization trends becoming obvious day by day, intercultural communication is no longer a rare thing to us. With the fast development and popularity of the internet,it is very convenient for people to carry on intercultural communication. A basic content of intercultural communication is body communication, if the message can not handle well, misunderstanding will caused in intercultural communication sometimes. Therefore, when you carry on intercultural communication, you should understand some common body language in international communication.The necessity and importance of language in intercultural communicationBody language plays a significant role which complete language in intercultural communication. Why do language have such a essential effects on communication?Because sometimes, body language be able to express meaning or contents more profound than verbal language,they can express what the verbal language cannot express directly.People communicate with each other by their body language in the ways of nodding, waving, eye contact, shrugging and so on. Use body language to express emotion almostly is ainstincts of human itself. It is widely used in dai ly life Because it i s simple,fast,directly.Like all of other nonverbal communication behaviors, body language serves a variety of purposes. Body language sometime repeats or takes place of verbal communication with the use of gestures. Moreover, body language can regulate social interaction, and finally it conveys our attitude toward ourselves and toward others in communication. In addition, it express information masterly and leave a better imagine space on others.As an unique way of communication, body language plays an irreplaceable role in people's munication is mainly depend on verbal language or written word, but as a matter of fact, body language is regard as a widely method to express emotion, attitude or advice. And have affect on communication deeply.According to the relevant statistics, the percentage of body language communication is about 65% in social occasion. A psychologist give up a formula:Transmit of information= 7%language+38%voice+55%body languageAlthough the aboved data need a further discussion, while it is more emphasis on the role of body language in interpersonal communication. Non-verbal action, majority is unconsciously reveal, and it often reflects his real feelings. It is more easier for people to disguise words when using language, In the process of communication, meanwhile, the non-verbal behavior is not so easy to conceal. As Freud said “understanding people's deep psychological idea, language is not reliable, the body languages are more true than human’s emotion and desires.”In the process of information communication, not only the expression and movement appears with the disseminator’s verbal language, but also the recipients are receiving information while showing a series of expressions. It is an important feedback, it is a recipient psychological feedback, it is more important than the language.2.The classification of body language2.1Facial expression languageExpression refers to the person's facial expressions. How many people's facial expressions it is, I’m afraid it is impossible to work out, there are some common facial expressions like:"happiness, anger, sadness and joy, others such as fear, disappointment,it is called as changing. No wonder Roman Rolland said, “facial expressions is the language which nurturedcenturies and thousands of times more complex than the mouth talking. ”The eyes are the windows of the soul, eye contact is the main source of confidence in nonverbal communication. Besides, we convey ideas by eyes,the eyebrow and mouth movements also can not be ignored.2.2 Hand languageThe use of hand and arm movements, is the most powerful method to convey his ideas in body language.In a general sense, we have to use hand gestures to help strengthen the ideas or describe things. Therefore, it is used everywhere. Even in a social situation. Gesture language is the most important part of the body language, is the most important silent language, is the most useful language. No matter the past, now and the future, its still an indispensable tool of people contacts. In the different nationality or ethnic groups, the meaning of same kind of sign language expression may be roughly the same or similar, also may be quite the opposite. The following are several common sign language:V-gesture: It has become Esperanto for long time, and it is come from the because the V word in English on behalf of Victory, so V express the joy and sense of victory to people. When you use this gesture, you need turn your finger’s back to your face. It is said that this gesture become popular after the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill use during the Second World War in English-speaking countries. Be careful when using this gesture, you must put palm out, otherwise, means stigma, neglect to other.OK gesture: There is no doubt that it is also a Esperanto which composed of english letters O and K, its means no problem, everything is ready , also shows i’m fine, all right, thank you for your attention.However, in the south of , OK gesture means that something he disapproved is not worth mentioning.In the Middle East and , this gesture symbolizes holes, which have a clear meaning of homosexuality. If in the bar and other public places, someone show you this gesture is probably looking for a partner, and do not return a thumb gestures, you also do not think he told you OK,so you are politely return a ok.In addition, leg movements can also reveal personal potential consciousness.At a meeting, a staff suddenly received a call from his wife who said that her mother had acar accident and went to the hospital, asked him to the hospital immediately. After the call, of course, he was very anxious and want to ask for leave. But at that time, his manager is giving a speech and hate to be interrupted. If his action left a bad impression on the manager, it will directly affect his promotion prospects. He was quitely worried, but can not take any action, so he frequently look at the door, and also turn his toes towards the door. At this moment, the manager just find his movement and ask the reason, then let him leave immediately.2.3 Poseture languageBody language includes human’s standing posture, walking posture and sit, squat, stoop, sleep and so on.Psychologists have pointed out that a man’s legs are close together when he standing,it generally make a stable and reliable impression on people, and it will also left a difficult communication impression ;while a man stand with his legs apart, his legs have a little toe out of people, then it gives a bold, aggressive proactive attitude to people;A mans legs close together, one after another, which reflects he has ambitious targets, haste temper but very brave and full of adventurous spirit; There is also a kind of person, when he stand focus on one foot, the other foots toes touch the ground behind gravity legs, these people would mostly like to change, willing to face challenge. Of course, standing posture not entirely representative of a person, because well-trained professionals could change body posture, but it at least can make it clear that standing posture is an important language, it has the ability to convey his ideas.Person's walking posture can express a variety of feelings, such as pleasure,frustration,passion, or lazy, slack and so on. psychologists found that: the person whose pace is large and elastic, their hands swinging force, are usually more self-confident, optimistic, objectives; walking pace inertia and variable of the speed ,that kind of person are more hesitant, pessimistic, insight view; People who like to dominate others usually like walk a high kick backwards ;When a women walking , the higher her arm swing, the more t she is energetic; On the contrary, women who walked less by arm swinging, most of them are in the thoughts confusion or frustration.What the“ real” secret of the Body Language exhibited is that all verbal languages can not cover. In the process of intercultural communication, especially those regarding the interests and rights of negotiation, consultation, communication. experienced people who able to master“secretBody language”, often through analyse other's instantaneous exposed body movements or posture, grasp each other's mood swings, real inner intentions quickly.and thereby get the initiative and advantage position. So familiar with “Secret Body Language”as important as English proficiency, even more important.2.The factors influence body language in intercultural communication .Because of different nationalities in which the ecological, physical, social and religious environment is different, each language environment have given rise to a different language habits, socio-cultural, folklore and customs of various contextual factors, and therefore in different cultures, the meaning of body language is not exactly the same, all ethnic groups of communication have different non-discursive way.The probable reasons that cause these diofference are as follow:3.1Different sense of valueIt should be recognized that the values of Eastern and Western cultures have lot of difference, due to the acceleration of world economic globlization process, the international cultural exchanges and cooperation become more frequent.The cultural mutual penetration of different levels in different countries and regions is more obvious, but some deep-rooted values of each are unique. For example, the United States as the representative of Western culture, in terms of value mainly showed as utility, efficiency, emphasize individualism and privacy, have a strong sense of competition and adventure spirit.Besides, westerners havent thoughts of hierarchy, humble, and expensive, cheapdistinction.Of course, many Westerners, is also have double standard in the values. Such as privacy, some U.S. companies prevail to steal employee's privacy, the company let security person look up the file folders, notebooks, open the phone calls, browsing phone automatically record card, or even open the computer, copy file on hard drive when the employees are go outside.Therefore, in the process of intercultural communication, both sides want to achieve understanding and respect, we must first understand and respect each other's values.3.2 Different customsIn the human experience and belief, custom play the dominant role, therefore, there is an old saying“when you in rome, do as romans do”.And if we Chinese people visit others,the host usually offer tea or drinks for guest, the guests will repeatedly refuse and say “no”, or “don't bother”even if the guest is very thirsty, extremely desire to drink tea. While most of the foreigners, often require host if they can offer something to drink, or the host ask guests what would they like to drink, guests is very delight to tell the host what to drink. And there are lot of things sounds like a joke, but that is the true. A Chinese meet his foreign friends outside,then he askl “Mr, have you eaten”? Then, say goodbye to the foreigner, m ove forward .H owever,the foreigners think Chinese friend treat him a dinner today. Another thing, but also because of the customs of the gap, and raises the below jokes.A foreigner visit his Chinese friend’s home, according western manners, foreign friends praised host “Your wife is beautiful” According to Chinese custom, the host hurriedly reply “where , where”? foreign friends think the host ask him which party is beautiful ? He added “everywhere”.3.3 Language hibitsChinese people usually tend to explain the reason fisrt, and then get down to the business, on the other way around, westerners, such as Americans answer the phone, introduce themselves first“this is xx company, can I help you?” when the Other party explain clearly whom he want speak to ,then ask: may I know who is this ? But we often “hey, who is this? Or who do you speak to”?4 . Understand and use body language correctlyA Chinese man talks to an American or Canadian woman, is it impolite to look at each other?In various cultural background , whether nod head means “yes”, shock head means “no”?4.1 Correctly understand different meaning of different body languageIt is necessary to understand that body languages have different meaning in the same situation, and the same body language have diffrent meaning in the diffrent occasion.It is important to note that body language has different meanings in different cultures. How to interpret body language, it depends on the situation, the culture, the relationship we have with the person as well as the gender of the other. This means that there is not one signal that has the same meaning all over the world. Body language is also interlinked with spoken language and a whole pattern of behaviour from a person. As well as that, various body language signs can help each other to understand meaning clearly or strengthen the meaning of what we express.For example, shaking head at sometimes does not absolutely means disapproval, also it is possible means “unbelievable” or “do nothing” or even a think highly of praise --- “fantastic”. For example, when you see a football player shoot a ball into the goal, you probably will shake you heads to praise. Similarly, in the process of interaction, we must correctly identify the meaning of each other’s same sortof action, which is very important.Due to body language behavior is often comparatively obscure, you have to identify each other's true colors through this hazy “veil”, without a certain social experience and sometimes its not really easy to distinguish. For example you ask someone to help, the other can say “OK” or “no” to you, but some people often can not express in his face resolutely “do it or not”, it is a subtle meaning.4.2 Understand the meaning of others’eye contacts correctlyIt is necessary to understand the meaning of each other's eyes, but also learn how to use eye contact to communicate.A personal eye expression plays an important role in interpersonal communication. The eye contact foremost serve as enhancing human interaction, For speakers, its better for them to control, regulate themselves. Warning , points out other's role so that they could adjust their conversation or manner timely. For listening people, different eye contacts can tell other whether you listen or not, or absent-minded. You can also look at each others to encourage them to go on, indicate others end the conversation.The way of using eyes contact is different in differentcountries and communities. Westerners, Americans, the Israelis, when they are talking to someone, their eye contacts is relatively strong, so both sides take the measure that they through the information launch of eyes contacts, enhancing the penetration power of the audio language. Asians, their eye contact are more softer,and they would not look others intently as westerners. But generally speaking, when you are talking with others, the scope of eye contacts activities should be natural circulate at each other's eyes, head, shoulder, take soft spots policy.4.3 Correct application of gesture and posture languageIn social occasions, or when dealing with people, we need to learn how to correctly use gestures and posture to convey your feelings and hopes to each others, at the same time, you should understand other's gestures and posture message.In the cultural exchanges, there are lots of common sign languages.A mans hands twisted tightly, it shows that he is nervous; rubbing his hands that shows he is eager; his hands spread out, that means there is no reservation; cover his mouth with hand, shows surprise.And then, due to different cultural backgrounds, the same gesture would have a totally different meaning, for example,the American put the palm inside means peace or victory, but in the United Kingdom it might convey the opposite message. ConclusionBody language is a important method of human communication,its connotation is also different with the difference of cultural inviroment, life style,thinking habbits. Therefore, in cross-cultural communication, we should learn and understand the meaning of body language in different countries and regions, by using it properly to reduce conflict, improve communication quality, only the two sides will master a variety of body language communication forms of different meanings, place them in the appropriate cultural context so that achieve communicative purposes.参考文献:[1]许静.非语言交际的跨文化差异与外语教学[A].上海外语出版社,2005[2]顾曰国.跨文化交际[M].北京:外语教学与研究出版社,1997.[3]贾雨新.跨文化交际[M].上海:上海外语出版社,1997[4]毕继万.跨文化非语言交际[M]. 北京:外语教学与研究出版社,2001此文档是由网络收集并进行重新排版整理.word可编辑版本!。

浅谈“肢体语言”在跨文化交流中的作用

浅谈“肢体语言”在跨文化交流中的作用

浅谈“肢体语言”在跨文化交流中的作用0813020058 08化工贸易曾昭烈摘要:在跨文化交流中,语言是必须的,语言包括说话、肢体语言等。

在这里,我们探讨一下肢体语言在不同问下的不同表现。

在不同的地域、文化背景下,人们对同一个肢体语言会有不同的认识,我们将通过对不同文化、地域的不同的肢体语言的了解来学习如何在跨文化交流中运用肢体语言。

关键字:肢体语言跨文化交流文化地域美国心理学家阿尔伯特·马洛比恩发明了一个原则:总交流量=7%的文字交流+38%口头交流+55%的面部表情交流,这说明了肢体语言的重要性。

在日常交际活动中,我们都通过言语和非言语相互交流。

肢体语言是非言语交流的重要组成部分,在人际交往中起了不可忽视的重要作用。

但是并非所有的肢体语言都表达了同一种意义,它会受多种因素的影响而有差异。

美国人问候时要握手,阿拉伯人问候时要亲吻脸颊,日本人问候时要鞠躬,墨西哥人则常常相互拥抱。

在土耳其,人们认为摸一下耳朵可是人免受凶眼的伤寒;在意大利南部,这种手势却用来嘲笑人懦弱无能;在印度,这又是自责或真诚的表现。

在大多数中东和远东国家,用食指指认是不礼貌的。

在泰国,示意某人走过来,需要手掌向下,手指向自己移动;而在美国,让人过来则应手掌向上,手指向自己移动;在越南,美国这种手掌向上的手势只用来唤狗。

汤加人在长辈面前应该坐下,而在西方晚辈应该站着。

在美国,两腿交叉而坐是表示放松;在朝鲜,这是社交的禁忌。

在日本,交换礼物要用双手;穆斯林人则视左手不洁,不用左手吃东西或传递物品。

佛教认为,人在沉默时能大彻大悟,美国人则认为交谈出真知。

由此可见,肢体语言在不同的地域、不同的文化背景下,同样的动作,具有不同的意义。

广州大学,是一个有不少外国友人积聚的地方。

所以,在这里也会遇到一些跨文化交流,特别是在健身房,外国友人更是随处可见。

在遇到这些外国友人时,问候方式也是不同的,就像我第一次去健身房的时候,见到两个法国的男人在亲吻脸颊,我不禁跟旁边的朋友小声议论:“怎么这两个‘玻璃’那么高大啊!”朋友听到后,笑了一下解释道:“他们是不是‘玻璃’我就不知道了,但是我知道,亲吻脸颊是法国人见面时的一种问候方式,就像中国人见面时想互问候用的是握手礼,日本是鞠躬90度,韩国是鞠躬45度;其实,在不同的国家、地域,由于文化背景不同,人们的肢体语言也会不同。

跨文化肢体语言对比

跨文化肢体语言对比
起眉毛在北美表示惊讶;在英国表示不同意或担心。
三、目光交流
人们常说眼睛是心灵的窗户,所以目光接触在人交 际中起着非常重要的作用。在这一方面可以有许多“规 定”:由于场所、谈话双方的感觉需求以及背景的不同; 人们的目光接触也不同。如在美国大城市里,白人之间
有个大家公认的目光交流距离大概16-32英尺,在这个距
置而不是对方的眼睛;在阿拉伯国家,谈话时眼睛需要
直视对方来表示双方对所谈话题有兴趣;在波多黎各, 好姑娘“不看成人的眼睛”这种行为是尊敬和听话的表 现。 其他眼部动作的对比。不停地眨眼睛在美国是表示不信
任;在中国以及香港是表示烦躁。朝某人眨一下眼睛在
美国表示万事顺利,在酒吧或歌厅则是表示招呼人过来 聊天;而在法国和澳大利亚却是表示不礼貌的行为。
四、手部动作
手势是指人类用语言中枢建立起来的一套用手掌和
手指位置、形状的特定语言系统。一般而言,南欧地 区的国家如意大利、西班牙、希腊等国的手势运用频
繁且夸张;中西欧的国家如德国、英国、荷兰等次之;
而远在北方的北欧诸国则又次之,因为他们几乎不会
使用手势来表达任何信息。
四、手部动作
手掌动作。这一动作在不同的国家也有着不同的含
“不”。
一、头部动作
2.搔头 当对某事感到困惑或者尽力要回忆起某人某事的时 候,会有这种动作。当人们在处理问胚要做出决定的时 候,常做的动作也是搔头。当你不知如何回答别人的提
问时,也可搔头,表示:给我点时间,让我想一想,考
虑一下。
一、头部动作
3.抬头 在美国,当你觉得有什么悬乎的事情要发生或有什
利,手掌朝上并附带耸肩动作表示说话人很无辜,不
知道以及不关心这件事;而在法国却表示荒唐可笑的 意思。

跨文化交际中的肢体语言

跨文化交际中的肢体语言

跨文化交际中的肢体语言跨文化交际中的肢体语言来源:英语毕业论文/ 肢体语言是人类进行非语言信息交流的重要手段,其内涵也随着文化环境、生活方式和思维习惯的不同而呈现出一定的差异。

要用外语进行有效的、成功的跨文化交际就必须学习和了解肢体语言在不同民族文化中的交际功能。

肢体语言跨文化交际文化差异肢体语言又称身体语言,是指经身体的各种动作(包括面部表情和身体各部位的动作等)来进行传递信息、交流思想的现象。

作为一种独特的交际方式,肢体语言在人们的交际过程中起着不可替代的作用。

有研究表明,一个人要向外界传达完整的信息,55%的信息都需要肢体语言来传达。

在人际交往中,有的肢体语言非常具体,有的则十分概括;有的旨在交流,有的仅为表达;有的提供感情信息,有的则表现人物的性格和态度。

肢体语言个人发出,有社会共知含义,并有可能对交际对象产生影响和发生作用。

但是,不同的国家有着不同的文化,肢体语言的内涵也随着文化的不同而呈现出一定的差异。

因此,要用外语进行有效的、成功的交际,就必须对不同文化中的肢体语言所表示的含义有所了解。

体距语的文化差异在人类的人际交往中,个人往往会不自觉地与别人保持相当距离,以保持其心理上的安全感受。

美国人类学教授爱德华·T·霍尔博士认为,在人际交往中存在四种空间距离:亲密距离(0~45cm,适合于夫妻关系及情侣之间)、个人距离(45~120cm,存在于朋友、熟人、亲戚之间)、社交距离(120~360cm,多用于洽谈业务和接待陌生客人时)和公共距离(360cm~750cm,多用于非正式的聚会。

) 从这四种分法可以看出,人类在不同的活动范围中因关系的亲密程度而有着或保持不同的空间距离,关系越远,亲密程度越小,并且这个空间距离的大小还会受到文化背景、环境、行业、个性等的影响。

一般说来,西方文化注重个人隐私,而中国人则不太讲究个人空间。

多数英语国家的人在交谈时不喜欢离得太近,总要保持一定的距离。

跨文化交际中手势语的差异

跨文化交际中手势语的差异

跨文化交际中手势语的差异在跨文化交际中,手势语的差异是一种常见的情况。

由于不同的文化背景、语言和社会习俗的差异,使用手势来表达意思会有明显的差异。

本文将探讨一些常见的跨文化手势差异,并提供一些建议来避免误解和尴尬。

首先,手势语在不同文化中可能具有完全相反的意义。

例如,在西方国家,竖起大拇指是一种肯定的手势,表示赞赏或接受。

然而,在一些中东和南美国家,竖起大拇指则被视为一种侮辱和蔑视的手势。

因此,在跨文化交际中,建议我们要熟悉并避免使用可能会引起歧义的手势。

其次,手势语的使用频率和显著性在不同文化中也存在差异。

例如,在一些非洲和中东国家,用手指指向他人是不礼貌的行为,而在西方国家则被认为是一种普通的指示手势。

同样,在日本,人们会经常使用手势来表示谦虚和尊敬,如将手掌贴在胸前。

而在欧洲和美国,这样的手势通常不太常见。

因此,在进行跨文化交际时,应该留意并尊重对方文化中的手势习俗。

此外,手势语的姿势和动作也可能在不同文化中具有不同的含义。

例如,做出"OK"的手势,在西方国家表示"一切都好",但在一些拉丁美洲国家则代表一种性暗示。

同样地,手掌朝上做出"停止"手势,在西方国家表示停止或警告,但在一些亚洲国家却被视为嘲笑或不尊重的表示。

因此,我们在跨文化交际中应该避免使用可能会引起歧义或冒犯的手势。

为了避免误解和尴尬,以下是一些建议可以帮助我们在跨文化交际中更好地理解和使用手势语:1.学习和了解目标文化的手势语言。

在前往一个新的文化环境之前,我们应该学习和了解目标文化中常用的手势语,并尊重和遵守当地的习俗。

2.对手势语言的使用保持谨慎。

在跨文化交际中,我们应该尽量减少对手势语言的使用,特别是不熟悉的手势。

尽量使用清晰的言语来表达自己的意思,以避免误解和冲突。

3.观察和学习当地人的手势习俗。

在与当地人交流时,我们应该仔细观察他们的手势语言,并尝试学习和模仿他们的习俗。

跨文化交际中肢体语言之比较

跨文化交际中肢体语言之比较

跨文化交际中肢体语言之比较“眼睛是心灵的窗户。

”这句话深刻地阐述了肢体语言在人类交流中的重要性。

在跨文化交际中,肢体语言所传递的信息甚至能够弥补言语的不足,帮助我们更好地理解和沟通。

本文将对跨文化交际中的肢体语言进行比较分析,以探讨其异同之处和作用。

跨文化交际是指不同文化背景的人在交际过程中,通过语言、符号等交流工具来传递信息、沟通思想的过程。

肢体语言作为一种重要的交际手段,在跨文化交际中起着至关重要的作用。

肢体语言是指通过身体动作、面部表情、眼神接触等非言语行为来传达信息的一种方式,它在全球范围内有一些基本的共性,但不同的文化背景下,肢体语言的表达方式和意义也存在差异。

在不同文化背景下,肢体语言的表达方式及其意义存在许多差异。

例如,在美国,人们普遍习惯于直接面对对方,而在中国,人们可能更倾向于略微侧身站立。

不同文化背景下的人们在交流时,对于空间和距离的观念也有所不同。

西方人往往习惯于保持一定的距离,而亚洲人则更倾向于亲密无间的交流方式。

不同的文化背景下的肢体语言在表达情绪时也存在差异。

例如,西方人往往通过面部表情来表达情绪,而东方人则更注重姿态和动作。

以一个跨文化交际案例为例,一位西方国家的商人在与中国合作伙伴谈判时,发现对方经常用手势来强调话语中的重点。

起初,这位商人觉得这些手势有些多余,甚至有些不礼貌。

但随着谈判的深入,他逐渐意识到这些手势在中国文化中是常见且有益的交流方式,可以帮助表达说话者的情绪和态度。

于是,他开始模仿中国合作伙伴的手势,最终使得双方的沟通更加顺畅,建立了更紧密的合作关系。

这个案例表明,在跨文化交际中,了解和适应不同文化背景下的肢体语言是非常重要的。

肢体语言在很大程度上影响了信息的传递和思想的沟通。

当我们与来自不同文化背景的人交流时,我们需要更加留意对方的肢体语言,以便更好地理解他们的意图和感受。

我们也需要尊重并接纳不同文化背景下的肢体语言差异,避免产生误解和冲突。

肢体语言在跨文化交际中起着举足轻重的作用。

跨文化交际中的肢体语言

跨文化交际中的肢体语言

跨文化交际中的肢体语言肢体语言 (body language)也称体态语言,是人类借助和利用自己的面部表情、手势动作、身体姿态的变化来表达和传递思想感情的方式。

运用自己的体态来表情达意几乎是人类自身的一种本能,因为它简便、迅捷、直观,在现实生活中的使用极其广泛,而且有时更能无声胜有声地巧妙表达信息并留给对方更大的想象空间。

1.面部表情语言的运用。

达尔文说:“面部与身体的富于表达力的动作,极有助于发挥语言的力量.”法国作家罗曼.罗兰也曾说过:“面部表情是多少世纪培养成功的语言,是比嘴里讲的更复杂到千百倍的语言。

”心理学家阿尔伯特。

玛洛比恩发明了一个规则:总交流量=7%的文字交流+38%的口头交派+55%的面部表情交流。

通过脸色的变化,眉、目、鼻、嘴的动作,能极好地实现信息交流。

2.手势动作语言的运用。

手势动作语言是一种表现力极强的肢体语言,它不仅丰富多样化,而且简便、直观性强,所以运用范围广、频率高、收效好。

一个很好的例子就是荣获2005年中央电视台春节联欢晚会最受观众喜爱的歌舞类节目特别奖的《千手观音》,二十一位生活在无声世界里的姑娘用她们的手势语向全国亿万观众传递信息,表达了新春的祝福.3. 身体姿态语言的运用。

身体姿态语言是通过身体各种动态或静态的姿势传递交流信息的一种形式.俗话说“坐有坐相站有站相”、“坐如钟立如松”,这都是对身体姿态的要求。

我们同别人交际时,交际的手段不只是局限于话语,尽管我们有时没有意识到这一点。

我们的表情、手势、身体其他部分的动作都向周围的人传递信息。

微微一笑伸出手表示欢迎,皱眉表示不满,点头表示同意,挥手表示再见,听报告或讲演时,身子往椅背上一靠,伸一下舌头表示厌烦,不感兴趣。

这些都是交际手段的一部分。

肢体语言与学外语一样,都是文化的一部分。

“跨文化交际”的英文名称是cross-cultural communication或intercultural communication,指的是不同文化背景的人之间所发生的相互作用。
