1. Define body language
Body language means the movements or positions of our body that show other people how a person is feeling, without using words Body language is a type of nonverbal communication.  Physical behaviour Such as facial expressions, body posture, gestures, eye movement, touch is used to express or convey information.

It has been suggested that body language may account for between 50 percent to 70 percent of all communication. Understanding body language is important, but it is also essential to pay attention to other cues such as context.

2. Facial Expressions, Postures and Gestures - Explain in a few words.

Gestures means a movement of the hands, arms, or head, etc. to express an idea or feeling:



3. Define proxemics.
 Proxemics is the study of human use of space
Public space is the space that characterizes how close we sit or stand to someone, like a public figure or public speaker. So, if you are at an event listening to a professor give a lecture, you are probably about 12 - 25 feet away.
Social space means we're getting a little closer, about 4 - 12 feet away. This is the kind of space you're probably in if you're talking to a colleague or a customer at work.
Personal space is even closer. In this case, you're probably about 1 - 4 feet away from someone. This is reserved for talking to friends or family.
Intimate space is for people who you are very close to. In this case, you're probably less than a foot away and you might even be touching the other person. This is the space you're in with a romantic partner, for example.

2. Define word stress and mention any three rules of stress marking

When a word has more than two syllables in English, one syllable will receive more importance than the others when it is pronounced. This is the syllable that receives the primary word stress. This means that, compared to the other ones, the vowel sound of that syllable will be slightly:

louder,
longer,

at a higher pitch.
There are two very important rules about word stress:

One word, one stress. (One word cannot have two stresses. So if you hear two stresses, you have heard two words, not one word.)
The stress is always on a vowel.

3. What is meant by intonation.
Intonation means the rise and fall of the voice in speaking.


Mother Tongue Influence

OUR language is learned through mind imprints and imagery. These are the two factors that influence our flawless speaking abilities. We speak as we think. Thinking and speaking happen simultaneously without any other hindrance in the brain. Mind finds it easy to find the suitable word for the emotions. The words flow rapidly. The listener is awestruck at the shower of words and accepts your point of view in the argument. This happens when we are speaking in the language that is our mother tongue. The innate vocabulary gathered years over is ever ready to meet our argument levels in speaking

AS we are not the natives of English language, many problems occur in pronouncing the words or finding suitable words to match the emotion or the need of the argument. There the brain has to seek the help of mind to find the suitable word in mother tongue, and then translate it into the language recently learned. We do not have enough word bank to find the equivalent word in English. That results in hushed voices, confused facial expressions, fearful looks to end the situation and move away to a safer place to happily speak our mother tongue. 



SECOND impact is the ways of pronunciations in Indian English
The intonation impact
The pronunciation impact
Lastly, syntax impact - placement of subject, verb and object

Lastly, a new word for the day... KINGLISH
Kinglish is a language used by the kings to speak with other kings. THis language is originated in Central Louisiana. It is a royal dialect. So far I had never come across such a dialect. Hope to know it some day.
