After learning that is non-verbal language and areas of study I think it's interesting to know a little story about how he began to be studied. (But not use it much at work)
Nonverbal communication always received less attention than the verbal language and verbal language that was much more structured and had a much easier interpretation of the nonverbal language.
Up 1950 there were almost no studies on nonverbal communication, there were only small observations in other works, such as Charles Darwin in his book "The Emotions in Man and Animals" written in 1872.
Darwin argued that there are common elements of expression in certain cultural contexts and the importance for the survival of the communication.
D. Efron with his "Gesture and environment" published in 1941 established the importance of culture in shaping many of our gestures.
In the 1950 there was a boom in research on human communication in the investigation of nonverbal communication include the following facts: Ray Birdwhistell
wrote "Introduction to kinesics" (1952).
The psychiatrist Jürgen Ruesch and Weldon Kees photographer published the first book I used the term non-verbal, "Nonverbal Communication" (1956). This work provided an overview of the topic accompanied by an extensive graphic documentation.
Another anthropologist, Edward Hall, published "The Silent Language" (1959) after several years of researching the use of space by human beings: Proxemics. A more detailed study on this issue later appeared "The Hidden Dimension" (1966).
During the next two decades (from 1960 to 1980) were carried out Research in nonverbal communication. Some studies were devoted to the combination of different body parts to achieve certain communicative goals. In several countries a vast literature on body language communicative purpose.
'll keep putting some history if I see that we can prove interesting.
