Classifications of Nonverbal Communication
• 1. those that are primarily produced by the body (appearance, movement, facial expressions, eye contact, touch, smell, and paralanguage); • 2. those that the individual combines with the setting (space, time, and silence)
Nonverbal Communication
• • • • Ⅰ. General Appearance and Dress Ⅱ. Kinestics (身势学movements of body) Ⅲ. Paralanguage (副语言) Ⅳ. Space and Distance (spatial language or proxemics空间学) • Ⅴ. Time (temporal language or chronemics时间学) • Ⅵ. Silence
2. Complementing
• Complementing adds more information to messages. For example, you can tell someone that you are pleased with his or her performance, but this message takes on extra meaning if you pat the person on the shoulder at the same time. • Many writers in the area of nonverbal communication refer to this as a type of accenting because it accents the idea the speaker is trying to make.

Chapter 1 CultureDefinitions:1 Culture is the deposit of knowledge, experience, beliefs, values, actions, attitudes, hierarchies, religions, notions of time, roles, spatial relations, concepts of the universe, and artifacts acquired by a group of people in the course of generations through individual and group striving. 文化是个人和群体在种族发展过程中所获得的知识、经验、信仰、价值观、行为、态度、阶级、宗教、时间观、角色、空间观、宇宙观和艺术品的集合。

(P12/P29)2 Cultural Identity refers to one’s sense of belonging to a particular culture or ethnic group.文化身份：认为自己归属于某一文化或民族群体的感觉。

(P19/29)3 Subculture exist within dominant cultures and are often based on economic or social class, ethnicity, race, or geographic region.指存在于主流文化中的文化，其划分通常基于经济地位、社会阶层、民族、种族或地理区域.(P23/29)4 Subgroups usually do not involve the same large number of people and are not necessarily thought of as accumulating values and patterns of behavior over generations in the same way as culture do.相对于亚文化和共文化群体，亚群体通常规模不大，也不一定有文化群体世代相传积累的价值观念和行为模式。
