  • The Three Most Common Cross-Cultural Gestures Allan and Barbara Pease
    The Three Most Common Cross-Cultural Gestures Allan and Barbara Pease 1.The Ring This gesture was popularised in the USA during the early nineteenth century by the newspapers that were starting a craze or using initials to shorten common phrases. There are any different views about what the initials 'OK' originally stood for, some believing it stood or 'all correct' which was regularly misspelled as 'oil korrect', while others say that it means the opposite of 'knock-out' that is, KO. 'OK' to a Westerner, 'money' to a Japanese, 'zero' to the French insulting to the Turks and Brazilians Another popular theory is that it is an abbreviation of 'Old Kinderhook', from the birthplace of a nineteenth-century American president who used the initials as a campaign slogan. It's obvious that the ring itself represents the letter 'O'in the 'OK' signal. The 'OK' meaning is common to all English-speaking countries and its meaning is fast spreading everywhere due to American television and movies, but it has other origins and meanings in certain places. For example, in France and Belgium it also means 'zero' or 'nothing'. In a Paris restaurant one evening, the waiter showed us to our table and asked, 'Is the table OK?' We flashed him the OK signal and he responded, 'Well, if you don't like it here we'll find you another table...' He had interpreted the OK signal as meaning 'zero' or 'worthless' - in other words, he thought we had communicated that we didn't like the table. Use the 'OK' gesture to tell a French person their cooking is wonderful and they'll probably throw you out.

  • Chapter 18 Slang and Familiar Words and Expressions
    Chapter 18 Slang and familiar words and expressions Ma montre en argent est chez ma tante, car c’est la dèche en ce moment, je n’ai pas un radis. It’s quite a strange phenomenon. Slang enjoys a status in France that English slang does not enjoy in England. French slang has a legitimacy that cuts across social class boundaries in a way I feel English slang does not. Consequently, it is far more present in the French press than an English-speaking person would suppose. Only those meanings that are used in the press are mentioned; thus ‘allumer’ will only be translated by ‘to criticize severely’ and not ‘to sexually arouse’. Several terms may be found in Chapter 4 ‘The top 100 polysemic words’ Frequency is shown by asterisks and the grosser terms are qualified as such. In any case, students would be well advised to exercise caution when using any of the terms below. Depending on the social context in which they find themselves, the use of a slang term could be a real faux-pas. The golden rule should be ‘when in doubt, don’t’. Many familiar expressions involve animals and to avoid repetition, these will be found in the chapter Menagerie at: www.routledge.com/9780367376758. I need to underline that the terms below are those that one may encounter in the press; it is not intended to be a comprehensive list of French slang. This was not the object of the study. The student will find three sections below: • The top 100 slang words one needs to know, arranged alphabetically.

  • How to Read Body Language Signs and Gestures - Non- Verbal Communications - Male and Female, for Work, Social, Dating, and Mating Relationships
    home » writing/communicating » body language body language how to read body language signs and gestures - non- verbal communications - male and female, for work, social, dating, and mating relationships Body Language - technically known as kinesics (pronounced 'kineesicks') - is a significant aspect of modern communications and relationships. Body Language is therefore very relevant to management and leadership, and to all aspects of work and business where communications can be seen and physically observed among people. Body language is also very relevant to relationships outside of work, for example in dating and mating, and in families and parenting. Communication includes listening. In terms of observable body language, non-verbal (non- spoken) signals are being exchanged whether these signals are accompanied by spoken words or not. Body language goes both ways: Your own body language reveals your feelings and meanings to others. Other people's body language reveals their feelings and meanings to you. The sending and receiving of body language signals happens on conscious and unconscious levels. (N.B. US and UK-English spellings, e.g., 'ize' and 'ise' are used in this page to allow for different searching preferences.

  • Many Times We Tend to Use Our Hands to Explain Our Needs and Thoughts
    Many times we tend to use our hands to explain our needs and thoughts. The same hand gesture may mean something quite nasty and offensive to a person from a different cultural background. Hand gestures are a very important part of the body language gestures. In this article we shall understand what are hand gestures. What are Hand Gestures? Hand gestures are a way of communicating with others and conveying your feelings. These gestures are most helpful when one is speaking to someone with no language in common. The meanings of hand gestures in different cultures may translate into different things. To explain my point, I take a very common example of former President George W. Bush who had to face a major faux pas during a visit to Australia. He tried to signal a peace sign by waving the two finger or V-sign at the crowd. You may think of this as a simple gesture, but he committed a major error. Instead of his palm facing outwards, it faced inwards. The meaning of this hand gesture in Australia meant he was asking the crowd to go screw themselves! A grave error committed by the then most powerful man in the world. Therefore, it is very important to understand the meanings of gestures before you travel to different countries. Before you communicate with people in different cultures, you need to understand the meaning of gestures. Those considered as a good gestures in one country may be termed as an offensive gesture in some countries. So, if you are a frequent flier to different countries, improve your communication skills by learning the meaning of hand gestures.

  • A Linguistic Big Bang
    1/25/2015 A Linguistic Big Bang A Linguistic Big Bang For the first time in history, scholars are witnessing the birth of a language — a complex sign system being created by deaf children in Nicaragua. By LAWRENCE OSBORNE Photographs by SUSAN MEISELAS At the Escuelita de Bluefields, 9-year-old Yuri Mejia signing the story of Babar: The young elephant is riding on his mother's back (left) when she is shot. He runs away (center) and then dissolves into tears (right). hen the Greek historian Herodotus was traveling in Egypt, he heard of a bizarre experiment conducted by a King named Psammetichus. The inquisitive monarch, wrote Herodotus, decided to wall up two baby boys in a secluded compound. Whatever came out of the boys' mouths, reasoned the King, would be the root language of our species — the key to all others. Herodotus tells us that eventually the children came up with the Phrygian word for bread, bekos. In addition to demonstrating the superiority of the Phrygian tongue, the King's inquiry proved that even if left to their own devices, children wouldn't be without language for long. We are born, Herodotus suggested, with the gift of gab. Ever since, philosophers have dreamed of repeating Psammetichus's test. If children grew up isolated on a desert island, would they develop a bona fide language? And if so, would it resemble existing tongues? Yet only someone with the conscience of a Josef Mengele http://www.nytimes.com/library/magazine/home/19991024mag-sign-language.html 1/14 1/25/2015 A Linguistic Big Bang would carry out such an experiment.
