Basic Purpose

Non-verbal speech is a kind of metaphorical colouring of verbal language as it can give the language rich emotional substance as well as to pass the information that word function is not able to give. The metaphor is reflected not only in language but also in thinking and acting. The determination of gesture as the first metaphor is actual in the process of studying the non-verbal language meaning and role in culture, communication and self-knowledge. The metaphor predestination expressed via the gesture or body language consists in transition the hidden internal content of information. Gesture as the first metaphor equivalent creates the effect of maximum presence. Such gestures can be called ontological that means transferring the sense and meaning of event and entitled to be brightly emotionally coloured that makes them universal and clear for any language culture representative. Equivalent gestures are the reflection of that first natural language first people talked before the verbal language barrier appeared. The metaphorical gesture as the most important element of somatic language becomes the important factor in the process of communication allowing to understand the inner spiritual world of communicator. Gesture basis as the first metaphor is the archaic conscience. Gesture as the conscience of the first metaphor allows to discover the psychological and biological elements of anthropology. The body language was the natural language of communication. Imitating the nature and many natural phenomena the human being was understood by all his tribe members. Codified gesticulation as the prototype of metaphorical somatic language is imprinted in painting where artist by means of portrayed gestures transferred not only the human being spiritual state but also the spirit of the age. The gesture metaphoric is inherent in national culture. Knowing the national character it is not difficult to recognize the ethnical origin of communicator via gesture communication. The national metaphoric of gesture language is attributed to historic and cultural processes which determine the worldview and communication style. However in case of body and gesture language expression in national character their culture conditionality and dissimilarity should be pointed out. The gesture basic purpose in communication is the manifestation and presentation of human being inner world and spiritual condition. One of gesture functions as the first metaphor is its symbolism. The gesture language semiology is present in different spheres of communicative process: from the professional gestures symbols up to domestic ceremonial esthetics. Gestures-symbols are divided into universal for all the cultures and specific ones which are understood only by certain subculture as the language of hidden information. Gesture as the first metaphor serves to universalization of non-verbal communication and encourages the communication enriching and gives it colouring, emotionality and the unity of perception of transmitted information.

The Way

Space truly becomes a place not merely because of the built and the unbuilt that design it, but also because of the way its users use it, behave around it, interact with it, and interact with each other in it. Space that surrounds every individual, in which an individual exists, interacts and performs, is known as “Human Space”. Organization of the Built environment around the users within their ‘human space’ is known as “Spatial Order” which is the key to formulation of non-verbal communication. Non verbal communication refers to the body language an individual adopts in order to convey a message to the fellow users of the space. This Non-verbal language subsequently becomes the basis of verbal communication that lays the foundation of Human Behavior within a particular spatial order.

Analyze Data

The article presents the issue of non-verbal communication from the perspective of translation and teaching a foreign language. The research is based on an experiment conducted among Russian students at the University of Warmia and Mazury, whose task it was to analyze data from Krystyna Jarząbek’s Dictionary of the Body Language of Polish People, from which about 30 unknown or unintelligible units of non-verbal communication were selected. The data show that body language, including gestures, is culture-rooted, and confirm that non-verbal means play a significant role in communication. This is why the author of the article believes it to be justified to introduce elements of non-verbal communication into teaching foreign languages and to compile bilingual dictionaries of body language.

Communicative Gestures

The problems of non-verbal behavior remain in the shadow of the modern ethnomusicology so far. Meanwhile, spatial behavior of singers, the poses and gestures used by them during the singing are language of culture, not less informative, than musical and verbal language, but at the same time more emotional, expressive and available. Gesture as body language is usually associated with the movement of the arm, palm, head, shoulders, legs. In the present study, we operate with the broader meaning of the word “gesture” as a behavior (from Lat. Gestura). The spatial behavior of performers during the ceremony, the generally accepted postures and gestures as non-verbal language of culture are discussed in the article on the material of the Udmurt ritual song tradition. The forest landscape influences the behavioral, as well as linguistic, religious, sound picture of the world of the Finno-Ugrians. The connection between the natural geographic environment and the “mental warehouse” of the Udmurts was observed by ethnographers as early as the end of the 19th century; they noted restraint in expressing impressions, silence, extraordinary shyness and the boundless ability of Udmurts to endure. The same is noted by modern scientists. In speech communication, for example, there is an unspoken rule not to express loudly and openly your emotions; it is not customary to actively gesticulate, to speak loudly. The findings of scientists suggest that the Udmurt communicative culture belongs to the low-kinesic. The stereotypes about the modesty and timidity of the Udmurts collapse when analyzing the Udmurt rituals, in which the idea of producing magic dominates to extend the genus or future harvest. Many behavioral prohibitions are not only lifted; moreover, obscene gestures, indecent behavior are becoming a necessary condition for rituals. Singers can stomp their feet heavily, beat the rhythm with loud beats of iron objects, sing while standing on chairs. In other local traditions, the magic of production can be embodied in the body language of singers in slow rocking, round dances. The key moment of the spatial behavior of the singing participants of these rites is a side-to-side movement as a symbol of the growth of cereal crops. Ritual gestures of a handshake, bowing of the knees as communicative gestures are considered in the article. Other gestures of singers (alternating between the left and right foot subhemps, putting the palm to the mouth while singing) are designed to enhance the expressiveness of the musical rhythm or create a special sound effect. It is concluded that the song ritual communication of the Udmurts, in contrast to everyday verbal communication, is characterized by a higher level of emotionality, which is reflected in body language.

Wound healing has been the burning problem in a surgical practice because of a remarkable increase in the number of traumatic cases. A wound causes a number of changes in the body that can affect the healing process, including changes in energy, protein, carbohydrate, fat, vitamin and mineral metabolism. Various Ayurveda literatures, particularly, Sushruta Samhita, which is said to be an ancient textbook of surgery in Ayurveda, has mentioned about the diet for the person suffering from the wound, and the author said that diet plays a very important role in the wound healing process. Sushruta - The father of surgery has scientifically classified it in a systemic manner, whose wealth of clinical material and the principles of management are valid even today. Shalya Tantra (surgical branch in Ayurveda Science) is one of the important branch of Ayurveda, in which surgical and para-surgical techniques has described for management of various diseases. Vrana is the most important and widely described chapter of Shalya Tantra. Vrana (wound) is one of them, which have been managed by human being from starting of civilization.

Theory Of Evolution

The article presents the philosophy of Elizabeth Grosz, its theoretical background and methods. It concentrates mainly on the category of the body which is present in her thought from the very beginning. The author pays particular attention to the problem of materiality of the body raised in The Nick of Time and Time Travels: why is the body docile? What makes it so vulnerable? What precedes social inscriptions? Those questions underline the problem of the biological aspect of the body as a part of nature which comes together with Grosz's interpretation of Darwin. The theory of evolution shows the temporality of human being and its culture and introduces future possibilities of overcoming the humankind and creating new ways of knowing, new sexes, new forms of living etc. The author suggests that this understanding of the body takes us beyond the human being and beyond subjectivity, it faces us with the process of becoming different which is perceived as emancipating. The author also suggests that Grosz's idea of the politics of imperceptibility is close to Foucault's recognition of the value of women's movement which, in his opinion, lies not in identity struggles but above all in struggles concentrating on broader cultural, social etc. changes. Both Foucault and Grosz aim at potential practices that involve giving up the question of our identities.
