This document summarizes a journal article about non-verbal communication across cultures. It discusses how non-verbal signs like gestures, proxemics, and facial expressions can easily be misinterpreted in intercultural settings because their meanings are culturally constructed. The document provides examples of how behaviors seen as polite in one culture may be offensive in another. It argues that effective intercultural communication requires understanding how non-verbal signs differ based on cultural norms. While non-verbal communication is often a strong mode of communication, it can also act as a barrier if cultural meanings are not properly considered. Overall, the document examines how culture influences non-verbal signs and the importance of cultural awareness for accurate intercultural understanding.
Intercultural communication is the study and practice of communication between people from different cultural backgrounds. It focuses on recognizing and respecting cultural differences to achieve mutual understanding rather than assimilation. Effective intercultural communication is important for organizations with diverse workforces to facilitate cooperation and resolve conflicts between cultural groups. Gender, language, context, and stereotypes can influence communication styles between cultures and present barriers like anxiety, ethnocentrism, prejudice, and misunderstandings if not properly addressed.
INTEGRATING BODY LANGUAGE INTO CLASSROOM INTERACTION: THE KEY TO ACHIEVING EF...Eko Purwanti
The purpose of this paper is to prove the importance of understanding body language to achieve the effectiveness of English language classes. Literature investigation is carried out to confirm the objective of this paper. In the teaching and learning process, effective communication between a teacher and students is the utmost importance. The failure to establish effective communication in the classroom setting will result in a deficiency of the teaching and learning process. It is the fact that many cues of body language are culture-specific and therefore the only way to improve the understanding of body language is by interacting with people from different cultural backgrounds so that they can share socio-cultural and linguistic norms. Thus, the experience will enrich the teacher with cross-cultural nonverbal behavior which benefits his performance in the classroom. Both teachers' and students' knowledge of non-verbal language play very significant roles in making the classroom interaction successful. Therefore, finally, a summary is presented to reconfirm the importance of integrating body language into classroom interaction.

Language and culture are closely intertwined. A language carries the culture of the people who speak it and influences their worldview. As children learn their first language from parents and community, it transmits culture from one generation to the next. The relationship between language and culture is complex; they influence each other as they develop and cannot be fully separated. Speaking a new language means interacting with a new culture in ways of thinking and communication styles.

The Sapir-Whorf hypothesis claims that the structure of a language influences its speakers' worldview or cognition. It comes in two forms: strong determinism, where language completely determines thought, and weak determinism, where language has some influence but not complete determination. The hypothesis is controversial, with critics arguing that thought is not fully constrained by language and that universal concepts allow cross-linguistic understanding. While problematic in its strong form, the hypothesis highlights the relationship between language and culture.
This document discusses nonverbal communication, which includes gestures, body language, facial expressions, eye contact, and other wordless visual cues. It explains that nonverbal communication represents around two-thirds of all communication. Some key aspects of nonverbal communication covered include its importance in first impressions, cultural differences, how posture and gestures convey messages, and its genetic and neurological bases.
This document discusses cross-cultural communication and some of the challenges involved. It notes that culture, body language, and language differences can all impact cross-cultural communication. Specific issues discussed include differences in views of time, space, intimacy, and the expression of emotions across cultures. High- and low-context cultures are defined. The document also provides tips for effective cross-cultural communication such as using simple language and continually checking for understanding.
The document discusses cultural differences in nonverbal communication, specifically the use of personal space. It notes that personal space norms vary widely between cultures, and this can lead to misunderstandings in intercultural interactions if one is not aware of these differences. For example, some cultures like Latin American and Middle Eastern cultures have smaller personal spaces and more physical contact, while Northern European and Japanese cultures prefer more distance. The essay argues that with awareness and understanding of different cultural norms, one can minimize issues caused by these nonverbal communication differences.
Nonverbal communication includes visual cues like body language, gestures, eye contact, facial expressions, as well as proxemics, chronemics, haptics and paralanguage. It represents around two-thirds of interpersonal communication and helps form first impressions. Research on nonverbal communication started with Darwin's 1872 work on emotional expressions across species. Key aspects of nonverbal communication examined include posture, clothing, gestures, eye contact and touch, which all have cultural variations in meaning and acceptability.

Spencer Peak analyzes how languages shape culture through Arjun Appadurai's theory of "scapes", including languagescapes. The document discusses how globalization has led to a diversity of languages and the rise of multilingualism. While learning new languages can foster cultural understanding, the decline of some languages may threaten cultural diversity. The ideal is to embrace multilingualism while maintaining unique cultural identities, as seen in the Philippines which incorporated English without disrupting local languages and culture. In conclusion, understanding languagescapes can promote cultural unity by broadening perspectives and respect for other cultures.

acquainted with Indian films will get the implied meaning
of the message, if they have knowledge of Gandhian
principles and certain constructs of our culture. The
message, thus, would be more effectually communicated
through non-verbal mode than verbal mode.
Communication, in general, verbal or non-verbal, is one
of the basic necessities of human life; perhaps, as
integral and as vital as our breath. Humans sustain
themselves in the society through interaction with fellow-
beings. Communication, a derivation of a Latin term
‘communico’ means ‘to share’. If we accept this meaning
then we also will not be able to ignore its sociological
affiliation as Scheflen (1972) argued that communication
includes all behaviours by which a group forms, sustains,
mediates, corrects and integrates its relationships. In any
cultural and linguistic group, the flow of interaction
indicates the states of each participant and their
relationships. All individuals that are contained within a
group learn these behavioural patterns since childhood.
They all ascribe same communicative interpretations to
these activities when any member in an interactive
situation performs them. By its very nature, it implies at
least two participants in the communicative situation; one
active who encodes and transmits the information and
the other, who receives and decodes the message. The
message can be encoded verbally (using lexical items of
a language system) or through non-verbal means (using
signs, symbols, postures, gestures, etc.) Non-linguistic
communication is further classified into three fields:
Kinesics (body semantics), metalinguistics (vocalizations
and interjections) and Proxemics (spatial arrangements).
Abercrombie, one of the proponents of the study of
paralanguage believes, “We speak with our vocal organs
but we converse with our entire bodies; conversation
consists of much more than a simple interchange of
spoken words” (Abercrombie, 1972: 67). These non-
linguistic elements may occur independently or alongside
spoken language. For instance, Franklin Southworth in
his insightful essay “South-Asian Emblematic Gestures”
points out that there are as many as nine different non-
verbal modes to greet someone and each mode is culture
specific (Southworth, 1992: 110- 111). These behaviours
are regular, uniform and mutually owned within a culture
and their expression is so familiar to all in that context
that they lead to immediate recognition and instanta-
neous interpretation by all the members of that linguistic
community. Scheflen correctly points out, “Such para-
lexical behaviours occur in characteristic, standard con-
figurations, whose common recognizability is the basis of
their value in communication” (Scheflen, 1972: 225). It is
a popular notion that these non-linguistic items cut across
language and culture boundaries. Our intention in this
paper is to posit and prove, with the help of a few real life
experiences from individual, organisational and societal
spheres that these behavioural patterns are culturally
determined and differ among social groups, languages,
and nations.

The messages conveyed through non-verbal mode are
susceptible to misinterpretations in trans-cultural situa-
tions. For example, the expression of two of the simplest
and commonest ideas, ‘yes’ and ‘no’ varies from one
culture to another. A rocking of head forward and back-
ward, in vertical axis is a general indication of affirmation
whereas rotation from left to right on a horizontal level
has normally been accepted to be negation. Many
cultures including Japanese do not give these indications
by nod of the head; instead, they use hand gestures to
convey affirmation or negation. Move-ment of right hand
signals negation whereas both the hands together in a
specific movement are used to indicate ‘yes’ (La Barre,
1972: 207). A particular tribe of Malaya cast their eyes
down to indicate ‘no’, whereas the same gesture made by
Indian girls indicates acceptance. When a teacher asks in
class whether students have understood or not, some
students nod their heads up and down, while some tilt
their heads to either side in an up and down motion
instead of standing up and answering verbally. These
nods can be interpreted differently; for instance in
Western India, nodding the head from side to side means
‘yes’ whereas in Northern India, tilting of heads in an up
and down motion indicates ‘yes’.
Proxemics, one of the types of non-verbal communi-
cation is a culture sensitive communication symbol. The
distance between people reserved for categories of
acquaintance vary depending on the cultural interpret-
tation of the distance. When involved in cross-cultural
communication, understanding these variations of
proxemic symbols is essential to maintaining effective
communication. For instance, Hungarians are relatively
non-tactile and they like to maintain personal space,
whereas Italians are the most touch friendly people in
Europe. Thus, for some cultures, the Proxemics is
compressed, whereas, for some it may be expanded. The
personal zone of the Middle East and the Arab world is
smaller than that of the West. Man will stand much closer
to other men when holding a conversation than is usual in
the West. In Indian subcontinent, it is acceptable to have
tactile contact with a person of the same sex but not
inter-sexually. Men shake hands, hug and pat each other.
Women too hug or even clasp each other firmly. But a
man would think twice before extending his hand to a
woman even for a formal handshake. In western
countries, it is quite acceptable between a man and a
woman to shake hands or even to peck each other at the
cheeks (Clayton, 2006: 142-150).
In India, recently, a controversy was raked up when the
main actors in a film were shown in an intimate kissing
scene. Such a scene would be absolutely inoffensive in
western culture but was made into an image-threatening
issue in Indian context.
Some more instances of gestures leading to cross-
cultural misunderstanding and uproar are:
1. In November 2006, after winning their maidens
Champion Trophy, Australian Cricket Team Captain,
Ricky Ponting waved his fingers at BCCI President,
Sharad Pawar signalling him to come and hand over the
trophy. Later one of the Players, Damien Martyn, tapped
at Pawar and nudged him out of the stage. Indians and
Australians reacted differently to this episode. The media
as well as some sports celebrities in India called it “a
wilful and intentional” and cricket fans in India were up in
arms whereas Dean Jones, former Australian cricketer,
said, “It looks like the Aussies are treating it as no big
deal”.
2. Another controversy erupted when in Kolkata, in
November 2005; TV cameras filmed Greg Chappell,
Indian cricket team coach, making what appeared to be a
gesture to some hecklers as he boarded the Indian
cricket team’s bus. Chappell’s alleged offensive and
obscene gesture had drawn angry response in the city
with politicians and prominent personalities denouncing it
while the Indian team management denied it and said
that he was only attending to an injured finger.
3. Referring to some bodily gestures like belching,
burping, spitting and breaking wind, Pathiyan in her
article in The Sunday Times states that though they are
“universal gestures”, they are “unabashedly” executed in
public by Indians. Later in the essay she quotes from a
homemaker’s blog “burping is not about feeling guilty. On
the contrary it is about being content with food that you
have eaten and about giving the hosts a compliment”
(Pathiyan, 2006: 1).
With the aforementioned instances, we try to bear out
that through non-verbal signs of communication; people
may unintentionally offend someone and thus conse-
quentially expose themselves to the peril of
miscommunication.
A seminal contribution of Ferdinand de Saussure, the
Father of modern linguistics, was his analysis of the word
as a verbal sign having two sides – an acoustic image or
a sound pattern (signifier) and a concept (signified). He
saw the arbitrariness of the verbal sign that necessitates
a systematic structure of language. Symbols and words
are concrete signs, which represent relatively abstract
ideas. For example, a concrete non-verbal pictographic
sign, ‘the skull and cross bones’ stands for ‘danger’ and
the word ‘book’ is a verbal symbol and it refers to ‘sheets
of papers bound together’. Because all signs are arbitrary
and there is no logical reason why we use one particular
sign, meaning is generated when we combine the
‘producer’ who uses the signified, the signifier, the
‘consumer’ who is the destination of the text/message
and the ‘message/text’. Combining these three factors, a
general model of semiotics was developed as shown in
Figure 4.
Saussure’s analysis of the ‘word’ stands valid for all
signs, verbal or non-verbal. Though arbitrary, a sign has
meaning in its respective linguistic or cultural context.
Saussure had argued that a sign has a meaning only

Figure 5. Reworked Model of Semiotics
within its system or some related context. It is not an
autonomous body. He stressed the importance of
considering each sign in relationship to all other factors
within the system. While interpreting non-verbal sign,
thus, one needs to consider culture as a major factor.
Inclusion of culture becomes necessary because when
we communicate through signs, we are also offering data
to the world. We provide information about our attitudes,
our culture, and ourselves. So, a reworked model of
semiotics can be assumed which will include the

producer’s and the receiver’s ‘culture’ as shown in Figure
5.
Following the lead given by Kroeber and Kluckhohn in
the late twentieth century, by Redfield and others, Brian
Bullivant defines culture as:
“The generalised composite of interdependent and
valued traditional and current public knowledge and
conceptions, embodied in behaviours and
artefacts… to give meaning to and cope with its
definitions of present and future existential
problems” (Bullivant, 1986: 43).
Thus, in essence, culture is dynamic in nature, yet is
founded on certain static values and principles. These
values can pose problems in communication, because
traditional values and norms are divergent in different
cultures. The paradigm proposed by Charles Sanders
Peirce, an eminent American philosopher in the
nineteenth century, of icon, index and symbol bears a
close relationship between communication and culture
(Abrams, 1993: 276).
Applying Lacanian paradigm of innate figurativeness of
language to non-verbal communication, one can infer that
language is transparently referential (Lacan, 2004: 62).
Non-verbal language will fail if one does not relate it to
culture, religion and other factors. This form of interaction
is much more limited than the verbal mode if it is used
separately. Consequently, interpersonal interactions have
gained vital importance due to widening horizons of
intercultural communications. This mode of communi-
cation as modifier, substitute or reinforcement has the
potential to form a parallel signalling system if it is
interspersed with verbal output (Southworth, 1992: 104).
Meaning is a social fact, which comes into being within
the discourse of a culture (Ashcroft, 1995: 298). It is the
responsibility of the speaker in a cross-cultural situation
to employ techniques that would ‘situate’ the action for
the listener/spectator. The same can be applied to non-
verbal communication.
Non-verbal communication, though potentially one of
the strongest modes of communication can act as a
barrier to convey the intended message. In recent times,
non-linguistic communications have become all the more
critical in defining and displaying meanings and
intentions. In this era of cross-cultural learning, one
needs to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of non-
verbal communication that is universally hailed as the
most effective mode because it has no language
constraints. Much has been written and said about the
positive aspects of this mode but this paper is an effort to
provide a holistic understanding of its limitations.
