Abstract
Non-verbal communication, as an integral part of communication system, plays an important role in intercultural communication. It reflects culture and varies in different cultures. Apart from the language, the nonverbal language such as tone of voice, eye movement, posture, touch, facial expressions and so on are also of vital importance to people’s daily communication. Understanding the different cultural implication of Eastern and Western body languages can promote people’s cross-cultural communication competence, reinforce the heart-to-heart understanding. Nonverbal communication can exert influences on people’s communication, reflect the people’s thoughts and complement the verbal communication. Nonverbal communication is universal. It is part of culture and a mirror of culture. Learning to communicate with people from different cultures means learning that culture’s nonverbal signals as well. It becomes imperative that people should not simply try to interpret messages of others with his or her local frames of reference. If people fail to handle this, it will inevitably cause conflicts or misunderstanding when two or more cultures encounter each other.
This paper aims to analyze the cultural differences of body language between East and West countries. With the beginning of brief introduction of non-verbal communication, the paper is divided into four parts. Part one gives the definition of culture. Part two probes into the definition, characteristics, form and effect of non-verbal communication. Part three explores differences of non-verbal communication between East and West countries from different aspects. At last, the paper concludes with the issues about how non-verbal communication changes in recent years and how to raise people’s cultural awareness.
