37、;···191 Introduction Man is a life group need to communicate with each other, while language is their first choice and important tool for communication. In daily life, people usually contact with others by using spoken language and body language. Indeed, spoken language is often accom

38、panied by body language. Studies show that in the process of face to face communication, 7% information is transmitted by spoken language, 38% information is spread by the changes of voice and 55% information is conveyed by facial expression and actions of other parts of body. With the development o

39、f society and advancement of age, people are linking up with one another more and more frequently, information spreads increasingly convenient, pressure and competition no matter in study, work or life is on the rise. Taking all abovementioned into consideration, it is urgent for us to learn how to

40、quickly and correctly know a person, make a judgment and read his mind. A persons inner heart is the most complicated and sophisticated thing in the world because it hides in the depth of ones heart. Furthermore, people living in such a competitive society, have to be cautious of handling every thin

41、g and people. Even some people “wear a mask” in daily interpersonal communication, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty of understanding a person. Although it is not easy for us to understand a person, as the old saying goes: it is hard to judge a persons personality only by his or her appeara

42、nce, we still can learn to solve this problem step by step. Nowadays, many scholars at home and abroad study and read the art of spoken language and body language in depth, in order to know the inner thoughts behind the art of human language. Language is indispensable to our actual life in communica

43、ting with each other. However, if we cannot understand the secret of spoken language and body language, the interpersonal communication would be heavily affected, let alone read others minds and have an insight into their inner heart. Hence, it is need for us to rethink about the spoken language and

44、 body language, to think about how to truly get peoples meaning and penetrate into their inner heart by listening their speech and observing their body movement so that we can judge people correctly and handle interpersonal relationship much better.2 Spoken Language Reflects PsychologySpoken languag

45、e is the most common but crucial way to us in communicating with other people in our daily life. It is hard to imagine that human society devoid of spoken language. Man is not only living in objective world and social activity as general people understand, but also living in the given language to a

46、greater extent, because language has become a medium of expression in human society. As Joseph Stalin said: Language is a medium, an instrument with the help of which people communicate with one another, exchange thoughts and understand each other. Joseph Vissarrionovich Stalin. Marxism and Problems

47、 of LinguisticsM, Peoples Press, 1971, P16Psychology is human brains subjective response to the objectivity. As we all know, it is difficult for us to know peoples real feeling since every ones heart is deep inside. But we can try to understand other peoples meaning through listening and analyzing t

48、heir spoken language from several different aspects, namely, intonation, mood, pause, stress, speed, rhetoric, syntax and pet phrase. This is because various intonation, mood, pause, stress, speed, rhetoric, syntax and pet phrase reflect various psychologies. 2.1 Different Intonation Reflects Differ

49、ent Psychology Intonation involves the occurrence of recurring fall-rise patterns, each of which is used with a set of relatively consistent meanings, either on single words or on groups of words of varying length. Hu Zhuanglin .Linguistics: A Course BookM, 3rd edition, Peking University Press, Sept

50、ember, 2006.Chater2,5.3 In peoples speech, the whole sentence or paragraph has cadence. Intonation means the changes of speed, strength, length and height of sentence. There is no sentence without intonation, and the meaning of sentence is different if it with different intonation. Consequently, if

51、a person speaks the same sentence with various intonations, we can learn different psychology of him or her from his or her speech. As the abovementioned fact, different intonation reflects different psychology. At the same time, intonation includes three aspects: stress, pause and mood, which are u

52、sed synthetically while talking. In other words, different stress, pause and mood reflect different psychology. Lets look into these three aspects one by one.2.1.1 Different Stress Reflects Different PsychologyStress refers to the degree of force used in producing a syllable. In transcription, a rai

53、sed vertical line is often used just before the syllable it relates to. A basic distinction is made between stressed and unstressed syllables, the former being more prominent than the latter, which means that stress is a relative notion. At the word level, it only applies to words with at least two

54、syllables. At the sentence level, a monosyllabic word may be said to be stressed relative to other words in the sentence. Hu Zhuanglin. Linguistics: A Course BookM, 3rd edition, Peking University Press, September, 2006. Chapter2,5.2 When people speak, they are impossible to say a word without stress

55、. On the contrary, people would put more stress on some words, while put less stress on others words. Then we are able to know speakers real meaning by noting which word they put stress on. Different stress people use in a sentence has different meaning, that is to say, various stress reflects vario

56、us psychology of people. Lets take a person says “他说他要来” as an example,( “ ” means stress the person put on words )他说他要来。The person stresses that it is not me who said he would come. 他说他要来。The person stresses that he just said he would come, but is not necessarily. 他说他要来。The person stresses that it

57、is him who would come. 他说他要来。The person stresses that he does not come yet. Secondly, lets take a boy says“我真的很爱你”to his girlfriend as another example:我真的很爱你。The boy puts stress on “我” reflecting that it is him who is the one loves the girl.我真的很爱你。The boy puts stress on “真的” reflecting that his love

58、 for the girl is true. 我真的很爱你。The boy puts stress on“很” reflecting that he love the girl very much. 我真的很爱你。The boy put stress on “你” reflecting that it is the girl who he falls in love with.2.1.2 Different Pause Reflects Different Psychology Pause in speech means a temporary stop or break. Pause is

59、not only one of phonetic features constituting intonation, but also plays a vital role in interpersonal intercourse. Every body has to stop for a while when he or she talks. This is not only for the physiological need and the need of sentence structure, but also for the need of perfectly conveying o

60、nes feelings. Above all, we must note that different pause a person uses can reflect different psychology of him or her. Thus, we can read others real meaning by noting the pause he or she uses when they are speaking. Lets take a girl says “我知道你会来看我” as an example,( “ / ” means pause )我 / 知道你会来看我 Th

61、e girl thinks that you cannot hide it from her that you would come to see her.我知道 / 你会来看我The girl thinks that she does not know whether other people would come to see her or not, but she does know you would come to see her.我知道你 / 会来看我The girl thinks that you will come to see her because of your clos

62、e relationship.我知道你会来看 / 我The girl thinks that it is she who you would come to see.Furthermore, it is easy to imagine that when a scholar is giving a lecture in a university, he suddenly stops because he sees many students ignore him and they are talking with each other. Then classroom becomes quiet

63、. Obviously, the purpose of pause used by the scholar is in order to warn students to pay attention to his lecture. Whats more, it is no hard to imagine as well that when a leader is giving a speech in opening ceremony, he stops naturally after saying several wonderful sentences. Clearly, he wants h

64、is audience to give him a big hand. 2.1.3 Different Mood Reflects Different Psychology Mood is a particular quality, way of sounding, modulation, or intonation of the voice as expressive of some meaning, feeling, spirit, etc. Mood is also called the tone of sentence, and it represents the changes in

65、 pitch of a sentence. Rising tone and falling tone are two basic types of tone of sentence. Generally, declarative sentence, imperative sentence, exclamatory sentence and special question use falling tone. While general question and incomplete sentence often use rising tone. Lets analyze the followi

66、ng three varied kinds of sentences, from which we learn speakers psychology easily.2.1.3.1 Declarative SentenceDeclarative sentence is a sentence in the form of a statement (in contrast to a command, a question, or an exclamation), and it includes the affirmative sentence and negative sentence. Actu

67、ally, in daily life, most of sentence used is declarative sentence. When a speaker uses declarative sentence, he or she would like to describe a fact or express their standpoints and attitudes. For example,我爱你。 The speaker wants to express his or her love to someone.我不爱你。The speaker wants to tell so

68、meone that he or she does not fall in love with him or her.他走了。 The speaker wants to state that he has gone.他还没走。The speaker wants to state that he still here or there.2.1.3.2 General Question General question is a question that can be answered with “Yes” or “No”. When people ask a general question,

69、 it means that they have doubts and questions, and they would like to hear a definite answer. For instance,你爱我吗？ The speaker wants to know whether someone love he or her. This is because he or she does not know the exact answer or he or she wants someone to answer personally.他走了吗？ The speaker wants

70、to know whether he has gone or not. 2.1.3.3 Rhetorical QuestionA rhetorical question is a figure of speech in the form of a question posed for its persuasive effect without the expectation of a reply. Rhetorical questions encourage the listener to think about what the (often obvious) answer to the q

71、uestion must be. When a speaker states, “How much longer must our people endure this injustice?” no formal answer is expected. Rather, it is a device used by the speaker to assert or deny something. Wikipedia Web Site, March 6,2010For a “rhetorical question”, its a question that doesnt need an answe

72、r because the answer is implied. And it uses interrogative mood to express affirmation or negation so that it can plays a role in emphasizing. Therefore, we can know speakers real meaning through rhetorical question used by him or her.For example,谁知道？ The speaker emphasizes that no one knows.难道我会不知道

73、？ The speaker emphasizes that he or she does know.我们怎么能浪费时间？ The speaker emphasizes that we must value our time.这么重的东西，我怎么拿得动？ The speaker emphasizes that the ting is too heavy for him or her to carry.2.1.3.4 Exclamatory SentenceExclamatory sentence is a sentence which expresses a strong feeling, su

74、ch as joy, sorrow, surprise, admiration, disgust etc, usually ending with an exclamation mark. From exclamatory sentence, we could easily read speakers mind because of exclamatory sentences function of emphasis. For instance,哎，我多傻啊！ The speaker confesses with regret that he had been very foolish.这就是

75、生活啊！The speaker signs with sadness and helplessness after experiencing hardness of life, and expresses his or her understanding of life.多么美味的食物啊！The speaker expresses his or her appreciation for the food because he or she thinks the food tastes good.工人们干得多么努力啊！The speaker expresses his or her admira

76、tion for the workers.2.2 Different Speed Reflects Different Psychology Speed of speaking means people talk fast or slow. And the speed of a persons speaking can reflects this persons psychology since a person with good mental health would show different speed in different environment when they are sp
