8、往往伴随着肢体语言。心理是人脑对客观现实的主观反应。本文主要关注口头语言和肢体语言对人类心理的反映。 我们作为社会有机组成的一部分，不管是谁，每天肯定也必须面对不同的人。然而，如果我们在实际交往中不同让对方明白自己或者自己无法了解别人的意思和目的，彼此间就会产生很多的问题和误解。结果，我们不能很好地了解一个人，以及不能恰当地处理好人际关系。因此，如何能通过听别人的讲话和观察别人讲话时的举动就能正确地理解一个人的内心想法和意图，是一个值得我们关注和思考的问题。 论文主要从三大主要问题进行阐述。首先，从口头语言的各方面，包括语气、停顿、重读、语速、修辞和口头禅来阐述口头语言是怎样反映一个人的心理的
9、。然后研究了肢体语言对一个人的心理的反映，分别从面部表情、头部动作和躯体动作三部分进行阐述。最后，讨论了两种不同的情况。一种情况是相同的口头语言不同的肢体语言所反映的心理不同；另一种情况是相同的肢体语言不同的口头语言所反映的心理也不同。摘要：语言 心理 口头语言 肢体语言 反映CONTENTS Abstract摘要1 Introduction12 Spoken Language Reflects Psychology22.1 Different Intonation Reflects Different Psychology22.1.1 Different Stress Reflects Di

In daily life, people usually contact with others by
14、 using spoken language and body language. Indeed, spoken language is often accompanied by body language. Studies show that in the process of face to face communication, 7% information is transmitted by spoken language, 38% information is spread by the changes of voice and 55% information is conveyed
15、 by facial expression and actions of other parts of body. With the development of society and advancement of age, people are linking up with one another more and more frequently, information spreads increasingly convenient, pressure and competition no matter in study, work or life is on the rise. Ta
16、king all abovementioned into consideration, it is urgent for us to learn how to quickly and correctly know a person, make a judgment and read his mind. A persons inner heart is the most complicated and sophisticated thing in the world because it hides in the depth of ones heart. Furthermore, people
17、living in such a competitive society, have to be cautious of handling every thing and people. Even some people “wear a mask” in daily interpersonal communication, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of understanding a person. Although it is not easy for us to understand a person, as the old s
18、aying goes: it is hard to judge a persons personality only by his or her appearance, we still can learn to solve this problem step by step. Nowadays, many scholars at home and abroad study and read the art of spoken language and body language in depth, in order to know the inner thoughts behind the
19、art of human language. Language is indispensable to our actual life in communicating with each other. However, if we cannot understand the secret of spoken language and body language, the interpersonal communication would be heavily affected, let alone read others minds and have an insight into thei
20、r inner heart. Hence, it is need for us to rethink about the spoken language and body language, to think about how to truly get peoples meaning and penetrate into their inner heart by listening their speech and observing their body movement so that we can judge people correctly and handle interperso
21、nal relationship much better.2 Spoken Language Reflects PsychologySpoken language is the most common but crucial way to us in communicating with other people in our daily life. It is hard to imagine that human society devoid of spoken language. Man is not only living in objective world and social ac
22、tivity as general people understand, but also living in the given language to a greater extent, because language has become a medium of expression in human society. As Joseph Stalin said: Language is a medium, an instrument with the help of which people communicate with one another, exchange thought
23、s and understand each other. Joseph Vissarrionovich Stalin. Marxism and Problems of LinguisticsM, Peoples Press, 1971, P16Psychology is human brains subjective response to the objectivity. As we all know, it is difficult for us to know peoples real feeling since every ones heart is deep inside. But
24、we can try to understand other peoples meaning through listening and analyzing their spoken language from several different aspects, namely, intonation, mood, pause, stress, speed, rhetoric, syntax and pet phrase. This is because various intonation, mood, pause, stress, speed, rhetoric, syntax and p
25、et phrase reflect various psychologies. 2.1 Different Intonation Reflects Different Psychology Intonation involves the occurrence of recurring fall-rise patterns, each of which is used with a set of relatively consistent meanings, either on single words or on groups of words of varying length. Hu Zh
26、uanglin .Linguistics: A Course BookM, 3rd edition, Peking University Press, September, 2006.Chater2,5.3 In peoples speech, the whole sentence or paragraph has cadence. Intonation means the changes of speed, strength, length and height of sentence. There is no sentence without intonation, and the mea
27、ning of sentence is different if it with different intonation. Consequently, if a person speaks the same sentence with various intonations, we can learn different psychology of him or her from his or her speech. As the abovementioned fact, different intonation reflects different psychology. At the s
28、ame time, intonation includes three aspects: stress, pause and mood, which are used synthetically while talking. In other words, different stress, pause and mood reflect different psychology. Lets look into these three aspects one by one.2.1.1 Different Stress Reflects Different PsychologyStress ref
29、ers to the degree of force used in producing a syllable. In transcription, a raised vertical line is often used just before the syllable it relates to. A basic distinction is made between stressed and unstressed syllables, the former being more prominent than the latter, which means that stress is a
30、 relative notion. At the word level, it only applies to words with at least two syllables. At the sentence level, a monosyllabic word may be said to be stressed relative to other words in the sentence. Hu Zhuanglin. Linguistics: A Course BookM, 3rd edition, Peking University Press, September, 2006.
31、Chapter2,5.2 When people speak, they are impossible to say a word without stress. On the contrary, people would put more stress on some words, while put less stress on others words. Then we are able to know speakers real meaning by noting which word they put stress on. Different stress people use in
32、 a sentence has different meaning, that is to say, various stress reflects various psychology of people. Lets take a person says “他说他要来” as an example,( “ ” means stress the person put on words )他说他要来。The person stresses that it is not me who said he would come. 他说他要来。The person stresses that he jus
33、t said he would come, but is not necessarily. 他说他要来。The person stresses that it is him who would come. 他说他要来。The person stresses that he does not come yet. Secondly, lets take a boy says“我真的很爱你”to his girlfriend as another example:我真的很爱你。The boy puts stress on “我” reflecting that it is him who is th
34、e one loves the girl.我真的很爱你。The boy puts stress on “真的” reflecting that his love for the girl is true. 我真的很爱你。The boy puts stress on“很” reflecting that he love the girl very much. 我真的很爱你。The boy put stress on “你” reflecting that it is the girl who he falls in love with.2.1.2 Different Pause Reflects
35、 Different Psychology Pause in speech means a temporary stop or break. Pause is not only one of phonetic features constituting intonation, but also plays a vital role in interpersonal intercourse. Every body has to stop for a while when he or she talks. This is not only for the physiological need an
36、d the need of sentence structure, but also for the need of perfectly conveying ones feelings. Above all, we must note that different pause a person uses can reflect different psychology of him or her. Thus, we can read others real meaning by noting the pause he or she uses when they are speaking. Le
37、ts take a girl says “我知道你会来看我” as an example,( “ / ” means pause )我 / 知道你会来看我 The girl thinks that you cannot hide it from her that you would come to see her.我知道 / 你会来看我The girl thinks that she does not know whether other people would come to see her or not, but she does know you would come to see h
38、er.我知道你 / 会来看我The girl thinks that you will come to see her because of your close relationship.我知道你会来看 / 我The girl thinks that it is she who you would come to see.Furthermore, it is easy to imagine that when a scholar is giving a lecture in a university, he suddenly stops because he sees many studen
39、ts ignore him and they are talking with each other. Then classroom becomes quiet. Obviously, the purpose of pause used by the scholar is in order to warn students to pay attention to his lecture. Whats more, it is no hard to imagine as well that when a leader is giving a speech in opening ceremony,
40、he stops naturally after saying several wonderful sentences. Clearly, he wants his audience to give him a big hand. 2.1.3 Different Mood Reflects Different Psychology Mood is a particular quality, way of sounding, modulation, or intonation of the voice as expressive of some meaning, feeling, spirit,
41、 etc. Mood is also called the tone of sentence, and it represents the changes in pitch of a sentence. Rising tone and falling tone are two basic types of tone of sentence. Generally, declarative sentence, imperative sentence, exclamatory sentence and special question use falling tone. While general
42、question and incomplete sentence often use rising tone. Lets analyze the following three varied kinds of sentences, from which we learn speakers psychology easily.2.1.3.1 Declarative SentenceDeclarative sentence is a sentence in the form of a statement (in contrast to a command, a question, or an ex
43、clamation), and it includes the affirmative sentence and negative sentence. Actually, in daily life, most of sentence used is declarative sentence. When a speaker uses declarative sentence, he or she would like to describe a fact or express their standpoints and attitudes. For example,我爱你。 The speak
44、er wants to express his or her love to someone.我不爱你。The speaker wants to tell someone that he or she does not fall in love with him or her.他走了。 The speaker wants to state that he has gone.他还没走。The speaker wants to state that he still here or there.2.1.3.2 General Question General question is a question that can be answered with “Yes” or “No”. When people ask a general question, it means that they have doubts and questions, and t
