本文讨论面对面交际中言语和非言语行为之间的关系。会话分析研究者不赞成话语分析研究者把言语和行为看成是两个不同的信道 ,认为言语和行为是个统一体 ,或者说言语由行为派生而来 ,是行为的表达。本文试图通过实验 ,从观察者角度证明人的行为不一定能通过言语观察到 ,因为人们的言语和行为之间只是相互解释的关系。此外 ,言语在很大程度上能左右人们对行为的理解。 This article discusses the relationship between verbal and nonverbal behavior in face-to-face communication. Conversation Analysts Do not Like Discourse Analysis Researchers treat speech and behavior as two different channels, believing that speech and behavior are unitary, or that speech derives from behavior and is an expression of behavior. This paper attempts to prove that human behavior from the observer’s point of view through experiments is not necessarily observable through words because people’s speech and behavior are only mutually explanatory. In addition, speech largely influences people’s understanding of behavior.
