Následující práce se zabývá problematikou neverbální komunikace v různých kulturách a to především jejími dvěma druhy - gestikou a mimikou. Největší pozornost je soustředěna na analýzu toho, jak je v česky publikované, původní i překladové odborné literatuře pojat výklad o vybraných neverbálních prostředcích v různých kulturách. Práce se zaměřuje převážně na to, nakolik jsou v příslušných publikacích zohledněna kulturní specifika příslušných prostředků, na které kultury je pokládán největší důraz a jaké informace jsou o daných prostředcích sdělovány. Nejprve je popsán samotný pojem neverbální komunikace, poté její druhy, ve stručnosti jejich charakteristika a stěžejní částí celé práce je právě ona zmíněná analýza vybraných publikací, kde bylo primárním úkolem zjistit, jakou měrou se čeští i zahraniční autoři zabývají mezikulturními rozdíly v problematice neverbální komunikace, a co o nich pojednávají.

Nonverbal communication focused on gestures accompanying speech.
Bednaříková, Nikola ; Škvařilová, Božena (advisor) ; Blažek, Vladimír (referee)
In this thesis, gesticulation is presented in a context of nonverbal communication. It is likely that gestures preceded the birth of an articulated speech. Nevertheless even in the present, people convey information via gesticulation to their surroundings. This ability can be found at small children, gestures play the role of a speech precursor there. Human language is a codified form of diction. We can see every word as a symbol. The formal layout is available even for gesture communication. This happens in case that gesticulation stands for speech. If you want to share your thoughts via symbols it is relatively complicated. People can present their opinions and thoughts by gestures thought, that they do not have a stable form. These usually accompany a verbal speech. Gesticulation has a significance for both speakers and listeners. Benefits were formulated separately for each of them. It helps the speaker to keep his speech fluent, to decrease the cognitive strain and makes easier for him to formulate ideas, which he can not to express in words. The listener gains information about the topic, that he is told about. On top of this, gestures can express different information, that are not involved in verbal speech. This discrepancy between arm movements and speech is beneficial for both communicating partners.

Title of the thesis: Complex aspects of communication - gestures and facial expressions Key words: Nonverbal communication, emotions, gestures, facial expressions, interpretation Abstract: The thesis focuses on the international comphrensibility of the complex aspects of communication, especially the nonverbal components. Of these nonverbal components we have pursued the gestures and facial expressions in particular. The domains of nonverbal communication are related, therefore the thesis mentions them as well. However our primary focus rests on the gestures and facial expressions. We researched through a questionnaire. The responders identified themselves and after that they were asked to identify and interpret facial expressions and gestures that we had chosen. The research indicates situations, when a communication is expressed only by the use of nonverbal means and may fail to convey the information.

I determine the differences in the ways these forms of dance communicate through dance performances. I examine how dance functions as a means of language, on which level the communication is processing and what meanings and messages the audience decodes within the dance performance. The phenomenon of dance in its natural environment is studied semiotically, as a form of language in certain context. The fieldwork method is based on participant observation and semistructured interviews with both dancers and audience.
