(“body language” is a type of non-verbal communication in which ‘physical behavior’, as opposed to ‘words’, is used to express or convey ‘information’)
(such behavior includes…)
‘facial expressions’,
‘body posture’,
‘gestures’,
‘eye movement’,
‘touch’
‘the use of ‘space’
.
(‘body language’ exists in both ‘animals’ and ‘humans’, but this article focuses on interpretations of ‘human’ body language)
(it is also known as ‘kinesics’)
(‘body language’ must not be confused with ‘sign language’, as sign languages are full languages like ‘spoken languages’ and have their own complex grammar systems, as well as being able to exhibit the fundamental properties that exist in all languages)
(which are?)
(‘body language’, on the other hand, does not have a ‘grammar’ and must be interpreted broadly, instead of having an ‘absolute meaning’ corresponding with a certain movement, so it is not a ‘language’ like ‘sign language’, and is simply termed as a “language” due to ‘popular culture’)
(in a ‘community’, there are agreed-upon ‘interpretations’ of ‘particular behavior’)
(‘interpretations’ may vary from ‘country’ to ‘country’, or ‘culture’ to ‘culture’)
(on this note, there is controversy on whether ‘body language’ is ‘universal’)
(‘body language’, a subset of ‘nonverbal communication’, complements ‘verbal communication’ in ‘social interaction’)
(in fact some researchers conclude that ‘nonverbal communication’ accounts for the majority of information transmitted during ‘interpersonal interactions’)
(it helps to establish the relationship between two people and regulates interaction, but can be ambiguous)
(hence, it is crucial to accurately ‘read’ body language to avoid misunderstanding in ‘social interactions’)
.
.
(good for poker)
(spot ‘tells’)
(and control your own body language / speech / facial expressions)
(or send out ‘false flags’ to your opponents)
(body language can be used for intimidation)
(as in “pre-wrestling match signaling behavior”)
(‘donny defilipis’ vs ‘mike vitollo’)
