15、f language and communication. Last time, we talked about verbal communication. Today, we are going to focus on non-verbal communication across cultures. As we know, the Euro-zone is in a tizzy. Greeces economy has tanked and is being bailed out by countries with different attitudes and understanding

16、 about money. Though they now share a monetary system, different countries have different ways of communicating. Its not just about the words they speak. Its also about the non-verbal communications. Issues of cultural background, regional variations, gender and personal idiolect come into play in n

17、on-verbal as well as verbal communications. In linguistics, an idiolect is a variety of a language unique to an individual. The truth is that our actions do speak at least as loudly, if not, more loudly than our words. Nonverbal communications can affirm, complement or even contradict what is being

18、verbally transmitted. One of the issues people run into with e-mail is that the person sending the message knows the intended message is meant to be funny or sarcastic. Without the non-verbal clues, the person receiving the message may take the message seriously.First of allz about gesture. Among th

19、e most potent forms of non-verbal communications is gesture. There are too many differences in gestures to handle them in a meaningful way here. Some examples of gestures that may not translate include pointing. Pointing with a single finger is considered rude in many Asian cultures. Better there to

20、 indicate direction by gesturing with a whole hand. Even among those cultures that use a single finger to point, there is variation. In the US, we use the index finger to point. In Germany, using the pinky to point is common. The gesture that Americans use to indicate everything is okay, is a very o

21、ffensive gesture in many parts of the world. Even very similar cultures have differences in gestural norms. When George Bush visited Australia, he flashed them a V-for victory/peace sign from his limo. The gesture is normally done with the palm facing out, but for most Americans, it does not matter.

22、 President Bush, unfortunately made the sign with the back of his hand facing towards the crowd. In Australia and in the UK , this is an equivalent of flipping someone the bird, or saying Up yours. In America and in most parts of Europe, showing someone a closed fist with your thumb sticking in the

23、air is a sign of approval. In many Asian or Islamic parts of the world, it is an insulting gesture. While in the USA men greeting each other with a handshake is the norm, in other parts of the world they might greet each other with a kiss. There are cultures that consider two men walking hand-in-han

24、d as standard behavior. In the United States, two men holding hands would indicate a romantic relationship.Second, about eye contact. Eye contact can indicate degree of attention or interest. It can be used to indicate attraction, to establish power, indicate emotion, and influence attitude. Some we

25、stern cultures perceive direct eye contact as a positive trait. Children are encouraged to look the person addressing them in the eye. However, in a country as diverse as the USA, that is not a universal truth. African-Americans tend to use more eye contact when they are speaking, but less when they

26、 are listening; Anglo-Americans tend to use more eye contact when listening, but less when speaking. Attitudes in Northern Europe such as Spain, France and Germany, tend to be similar to the Anglo-American norms for eye-contact in the US. However, eye-contact in those areas has more flirtatious face

27、ts than in the US. In the Middle East, many cultures make prolonged eye contact when in conversation. They believe it shows interest and allows them to read the truthfulness of the person with whom theyre speaking. That said, religious laws change the rules about what is appropriate in terms of eye-

28、contact between a man and woman. In certain parts of Africa, Latin America, and parts of Asia avoiding eye contact is the way to show respect. Extended eye-contact in these cultures may be taken as disrespectful or a challenge to authority.Thirdly, about physical contact. Different cultures have dif

29、ferent rules for physical contact. Norms for the type of contact, the length of contact and the persons involved in contact vary. Upon encountering an individual, even a stranger, Americans shake hands as the norms. In certain situations, hugging upon meeting is acceptable. Some American women will greet each other with a kiss. A peck on the cheek is acceptable between men and women. American women will shake hands in business situations, but are likely to hug in social situ
