000 PHYSICAL SIGNS CAPABLE OF STIMULATING MEANING IN ANOTHER PERSO...

200.000 physical signs capable of stimulating meaning in another person. For example, there are 23

distinct eyebrow movements, each capable of stimulating a different meaning.

Humans express attitudes toward themselves vividly through body movements and postures. Body

movements express true messages about feelings that cannot be masked. Because such avenues of

communication are visual, they travel much farther than spoken words and are unaffected by the presence

of noise that interrupt, or cancels out speech.

People communicate by the way they walk, stand, and sit. We tend to be more relaxed with friends or

when addressing those of lower status. Body orientation also indicates status or liking of the other

individual. More direct orientation is related to a more positive attitude.

Body movements and postures alone have no exact meaning, but they can greatly support or reject the

spoken word. If these two means of communication are dichotomized and contradict each other, some

result will be a disordered image and most often the nonverbal will dominate.
