Furthermore, repeating means that people do the related behaviors while speaking, which are to illustrate and emphasize the meaning the speaker likes to express. Movements of head and hands are always playing a role of strengthening when talking to others.For example: When reading some excellent works and wonderful sentences, we will slap the table and shout “bravo”. Striking the table is an acpanying behavior, expressing excitements and pleasure. At the right moment when a speaker says We have to give up it, his head tend ahead and his palm or his fist press heavily on the desk to show his firm attitude. One more example, you tell somebody that the office building lies to the west of the teaching building and meanwhile your finger is pointing to the west to repeat it. Sometimes when you say the number one, you put out one of your fingers to help you express your idea. When you ask the students to keep quiet in class, you may say＂Silence! Stop talking! and you put your index in the palm of another hand to make a gesture of “stop”. The gesture with words to reach an effect that silence is the best way. Chen Yuan said: “The most important municational tool used by human beings is of course language。 however, it does not mean that language is the only tool. It also depends on many other nonverbal behaviors. Actually, social munication usually mixed two kinds of toolsverbal and nonverbal. When one is speaking, gesture, eyes movement, posture and facial expression are always acpanying voiced language. Repeating is the fuction of body language. All the movements including all the nonverbal behaviors are behaved as one aimdeepen the impression of meaning [15]. SubstitutingBefore languages were produced, people had to use a variety of gestures to explain what they want to say in order to municate better or live better. Obviously it became the main tool of munication, and now we see that some individuals use relative body language when they cannot or it is inconvenient to express their feeling to achieve the same results instead of oral language and written language. That is what we said of municative function. Sign languages that are used by the deaf and dumb, judging gesture that were used in sports petitions by the judges, gestures that were used by policemen who direct the cars and people on streets all belong to substitutable body language. What’s more, in daily life people shake hands to send their respect to others, waving hands to say goodbye, clapping hands to wele others. Communicative functions of body language are mainly used in the following situations: First, more simple and concise body languages are used to stress the main information. For example, in a petition, people around are very noisy, it39。s difficult or impossible for the athletes to hear each other, so they give each other a gesture of v to increase their confidence. And now we often see that in a football match when the player kicked a goal, he took off his clothes and ran around the playground to show his excitement. We still remember that in 2004 Athens Olympic Games, when Liu Xiang got the Gold medal, he put up the national flag and run around the playground. Second, in some special backgrounds, the using of body language can be more implicit and proper. In public places, someone may be impolite or rude。 at this moment his friends want to point out his defects in words but were afraid of hurting his pride, so they use eye contacts to prevent him. Third, when words are unnecessary and it is better to be silent than saying anything, only eye contact or smile will be more useful. Fourth, because of the special environment, people can only use nonverbal munication. For example, policemen have a certain body language that can only be understood by them. When they are going to rescue a hostage they will use eye contacts or gestures to convey information in order not to be discovered by the criminals. ComplementingAccording to the psychologist Birdwhistell, the municative message conveyed by verbal behaviors in conversation only contains 30%, and the other messages are all conveyed by nonverbal means (basically body language). That is to say, sometimes the voiced languages were powerless and the nonverbal behaviors will plement these speech acts by eye contacts, facial expressions, gestures, postures, etc. These silent body languages start by remedy the powerlessness and inadequacies. British Prime Minister Churchill, who paid much attention to speech art, said in one of his lectures that our living level was higher than any other historical periods, we ate too much. Then he stopped and stared at the audience and pointed at his own big stomach and said: “This is the most powerful proof.”[2] Churchill used nonverbal acts twice to modify voiced language. First he stopped intentionally to cause the public39。s attention, and then the body language that he pointed at his own big stomach achieved a lively result. Nowadays, written examinations and interviews are always included in an employment. Through the interview, the examiner judge the employee39。s fullscaled qualities by distinguish different nonverbal language behaviors. What’s more, at the same time when a teacher praised someone, he would pat the student on the shoulder with a smiling face. All the behaviors are a plement to the oral words. Many examples exist in our daily lives. Suppose you are on a phone call, a friend es to visit you. You will nod your head or give a gesture or give him a glance to ask him to sit down and wait for you. We see sometimes information conveyed by nonverbal acts has no relation with oral words. That is to say, what we have said and what we have done are two different things. Thanks to these nonverbal behaviors especially the eye contact, facial expression, gesture, posture, etc. Language bees more symbolic, emotional and lively. ContradictingCompared with language
