自从语言出现以来,语言交际就在人类交际中起着重要作用,但这并不是交际的唯一手段。口头交际和非口头交际产生于同一时间段。口头交际可以更快捷的传达信息,因此人们忽视了非口头交际。然而在最近一段时间越来越多的学者将注意力转移到了非口头交际上。非口头交际也因此成了一门新兴的学科。本论文将重点分析非口头交际的概念,交际手段,它的分支特点以及功能,特别是在契诃夫作品中的非口头交际,非口头交际如何表达人物的性格特点,他们是如何使用的。 Since the advent of language, communicative language has played an important role in human communication, but this is not the only means of communication. Oral communication and non-oral communication arise at the same time. Oral communication can convey information more quickly, so people ignore non-verbal communication. However, in the most recent period, more and more scholars have shifted their attention to non-verbal communication. Non-verbal communication has therefore become a new discipline. This thesis will focus on the analysis of the concept of non-verbal communication, the means of communication, the characteristics and functions of its branches, especially the non-verbal communication and the non-verbal communication in Chekhov’s work.
