non-verbal


Bahasa, itu adalah kata yang tidak asing lagi bagi kita semua. Akan tetapi, tahukah kalian bahwa bahasa bukan hanya yang dapat dikatakan saja. Meskipun dikatakan atau diucapkan, pasti hal itu memiliki makna tidak hanya satu makna saja. Contohnya saja, jika kalian mengucapkan kata “maaf” kepada seseorang, kata itu dapat bermakna minta maaf atau ingin mendengar apa yang dikatakan lawan bicaranya sesuai dengan intonasi dan stress voice oleh pembicara. Selain bicara secara verbal, seseorang pasti secara sadar ataupun tidak sadar akan menunjukan bahasa tubuh atau body language.
Ada makna bahasa ketika seseorang menyilangkan tangan di dadanya.
