摘 要

非语言交际和语言交际同等重要，非语言交际包括图像性符号，眼神，服装，手势等等。在我们的日常生活中扮演着重要的角色，有时候比语言更有说服力，但不同国家和地区，由于传统文化和风俗习惯的不同，手势也会不同，同一种手势所表达的意思可能有很大的差异。所以在跨文化交际中，交际双方若不能进入同一文化背景下，就会产生不解或误解，从而使交际失败。从跨文化交际的目的出发，为了避免这些不必要的麻烦的产生，比较不同文化背景下手势语的异同，论述手势语在非语言交际中的重要性，研究的目的其实是能够更好地理解和运用它，因此，掌握人类基本的非语言交际的技巧有利于我们更好地交流。

关键词：手势语；非言语；差异；重要性
