voice set, voice qualities and vocalization. Voice set regarded as the background of the words includes the high or low pitch of the tone and volume and dynamics of the voice. [8] (P68) This term was first raised up by linguist Trager in his book Language in Culture and Society pressed in1965. As with all other aspects of our nonverbal behavior, culture influences our use of and response to paralanguage. We only have to look at differences in the use of volume to see this. Arabs speak very loudly because loudness for them connotes strength and sincerity, while softness communicates weakness and deviousness. For Israelis, increased volume reflects strong beliefs toward the issue under discussion. The Germans conduct their business with a commanding tone that projects authority and self-confidence. On the other end of the continent, there are cultures that have a very different view toward loud and firm voices. For Thai people, a loud voice is perceived as being impolite. In Japan, raising one’s voice often implies a lack of self-control. For them, a gentle and soft voice reflects good manners and helps maintain social harmony---two important values in Japanese culture. When interacting with Americans, people from cultures that speak softly often believe that Americans are angry or upset because of other relatively loud speech. 4.5Interpersonal space We distance ourselves rather precisely from each other while speaking, and these distances are determined culturally. In the United States, the conversational distance is about arm’s length. People in some cultures stand much closer; others further apart. As with most communication traditions, violation of such a cultural habit can cause discomfort, even distress. It can be amusing to watch two people who were raised in different cultures with different impressions of proper distance do their spacing moving in an attempt to arrive at mutually comfortable positions. North Americans and Spaniards provide a good example. [3](P191) A North American speaking to a Spaniard will want more space between them than will the Spaniard. So the Spaniard is likely to step a bit closer, causing the North American to move back a step. Finally, as often happens, the North American will be up against a wall, with no room to retreat further, feeling uncomfortable as the Spaniard “crowds” in. The Spaniard, meanwhile, will feel comfortable. 5. The influence of nonverbal communicative approach in communication Ray Birdwhistell of the University of Pennsylvania, one of the pioneer prime movers in contemporary American studies of nonverbal communication, has estimated that perhaps 30 to 35 percent of human communication occurs through words, the rest through nonverbal modes. [3](P182) Obviously, the majority of communicative messages are conveyed by nonverbal modes that play an important role in communication. Nonverbal communicative approach has some characteristics to give strong influence on communication. Firstly, nonverbal symbol has a quality of distinctiveness. We can often see some clearly marked symbols that can be understood at first sight at the airport or on the roadside of railway or highway to send various instructions to conduct transportation. When we meet joyous occasion or funeral arrangements, we dress in bright red to express congratulations while in black to express heartfelt condolences and consolation to the family of the deceased. [5](P16) This kind of nonverbal symbol of dress can expr
