body language

noun

/bˈɑːdi lˈæŋɡwɪdʒ/

the nonverbal communication of thoughts, feelings, or intentions through physical gestures, posture, facial expressions, and movements

What is "body language"?

Body language is a type of nonverbal communication that involves the use of physical gestures, movements, and posture to convey messages and emotions. This includes facial expressions, eye contact, hand movements, and overall body position. Body language can express a wide range of feelings, such as confidence, openness, nervousness, or aggression, and often provides additional context to spoken words. For example, crossed arms might indicate defensiveness, while leaning forward can show interest or engagement. Understanding body language is important for effective communication, as it helps individuals interpret the feelings and intentions of others, enhancing social interactions and relationships.
