1. Introduction
Body language is an important means of non-verbal communication. Scholars reckon that “Body language is information”. It is first created by an American psychologist Birdwhistell who is the leader in study of body language in the west. He believes that among all means of expressing emotion and attitude, more than sixty percent is finished by facial expression, gestures, postures, etc.(贾玉新1997:449---456) The psychologist, David Abercrombie also points out “We say with our phonetic organs, but we talk with the whole body.” (贾玉新1997:448). In China, Yang Xiaoli once analyses the Chinese phases and gets a conclusion that more than one hundred and sixty Chinese phrases are used to represent the context of body language and they can convey emotion and intention separately. So many scholars have studied on body language in many aspects, which better illustrates the important of body language. This paper focuses on the contrast study of the body language in Chinese and American culture. First is the brief introduction to body language. Then, in part two and three,the author illustrates the differences and similarities of body language in Chinese and American culture. And the conclusion will be given in the last part. It aims to enable us to better understand the Chinese and American cultures, thus to achieve an efficient communication.
1.1 Definition and functions of body language
Body language, also called kinesics, is the means to use the body movements or actions to replace or assist the sound, oral language, or other means of communication to communicate with others. Psychologists believed that the information delivered by a person’s appearance and actions is much more than that of a person’s words.
“Albert Mebrabian, after a long-time study, he concludes a formula: the total impact of message = verbal (7%) + vocal (38%) + facial (55%).” (张健青 2004:33).That is to say body language can help verbal-communication achieve more effective communication. Body language can reveal people’s hidden mind and emotion, Birdwhistell indicates that all parts of human body, all organs can express and exchange information, emotion and attitude; moreover, these can make efforts that words cannot obtain(贾玉新 1997:449-456). And through people’s body language we can get some information about their own culture. Due to space limitations, here only gives a brief description about the function. 1.2 Classifications of body language
The context of body language is very comprehensive. Psychologists believe that body language includes the following aspects:
