Abstract

Gestures serve different purposes in language. Nevertheless people find difficulties to learn and to understand the gestures due to the speakers of languages in certain cultures that use “gestures” can change the meaning or the meaning conveyed. This study deals with non-verbal communication strategies named gesture used in Indonesian and Western communication. The objectives of study are to describe the meaning of gestures and to find out the types of gestures used by Indonesian and Western people when communicating in Talk Show. This study applied descriptive qualitative method. The research instrument was video recorder. The data analysis showed that there were 5 types of symbolic movement, 11 types of illustrative movement, 7 types of emotion revealing movement , 3 types of modulation movement, 3 types of adaptable movement. The result of descriptive analysis showed that gestures have big roles in communication either in Indonesian and Western People. Some gestures have similar meaning both of cultures. However sometimes every country has their different meaning of gestures. Therefore, it is necessary to take care before using gestures in other cultures.

西方与印尼手势在交际中的比较:社会语言学研究

手势在语言中有不同的用途。然而，人们发现学习和理解手势是困难的，因为在某些文化中使用“手势”的语言的使用者可以改变意思或所传达的意思。本研究探讨了印尼语和西方语言交际中被称为手势的非语言交际策略。研究的目的是描述手势的含义，并找出印尼人和西方人在谈话节目中交流时使用的手势类型。本研究采用描述性定性方法。研究仪器为录像机。数据分析表明，符号动作有5种，说明动作有11种，情感流露动作有7种，调节性动作有3种，适应性动作有3种。描述性分析的结果表明，手势在印度尼西亚人和西方人的交流中都起着重要的作用。有些手势在两种文化中具有相似的含义。然而，有时每个国家都有不同的手势含义。因此，在其他文化中使用手势是有必要的。
