Question

explain the role and significance of non linguistc messages in relation to culture

Answer 1

A non-linguistic is an actual or possible derivation from sentience, which is not associated with signs that have any original or primary intent of communication.

Most culture have a common language that is spoken and understood for communication.However, smile cross all cultures linguistic bound and can make a person from one culture share a pleasant spontaneous bond with someone from another culture. Dancing and music can also cross linguistic cultural barriers and make people clap and smile move their soule and feet to a music beat togather.

As language may not always be used to communicate, so also communication may be possible without necessarily using spoken language. For example sign language. Deaf and dumb people have their own non-linguistic code (gestures and hands signs) to express themselves or to communicate with one another. The linguistic key is the tone, manner or spirit in which an act is performed. Linguistic communication differs from non-linguistic communication. For communicating linguistically, the whole language is available. Sometimes one can communicate in even more than one language, whereas the choices are limited for a non-linguistic communicator, such as, facial expressions, signs and gestures, movements of hands etc. An interesting point here is that even linguistic communication is accompanied by certain elements of non-linguistic communication.

A non-linguistic is an actual or possible derivation from sentence, which is not associated with signs that have any original or primary intent of communication. It is a general term of art used to capture a number of different senses of the word "meaning", independently from its linguistic uses.
