ABSTRACT

The face is perhaps the prime source of human nonverbal communication. In most form of social interaction the face, and especially the eyes. Over the years there has been a good deal of speculation about whether facial expressions are learnt or inherited. The main kinesic channels of communication are movements of the face, head and body, posture and gesture. Eye-gaze is an important channel for receiving information and it is a channel which is affected by cognitive factors as well as by social factors. Posture is the way of stand or sit or generally position the body is the most obvious and visible channels of human communication. A number of authors have suggested that there are sex differences in the habitual postures of men and women. Hand movement and gesture is a class of nonverbal behaviour closely tied with speech, it is a very heterogeneous group of behaviours whose specific connection with verbal language varies from category to category.
