摘要：AbstractThe opposite views about the necessity of investigating nonverbal means from the linguistic view is as natural as a great interest of searching verbal means from the linguistic view in the linguistics. However, many theoretical considerations about verbal means have been made, para actions have been combined and grouped, their relations with verbal means and their functions are being determined. In a word, paralinguistic means are being systemized. Descriptive method, comparative method, material- combining method and contradictive method are the basic methods to define the peculiarity of paralinguistic means in comparison with kinesics means of other foreign languages. Like verbal elements, paralinguistic means has definite meanings. And they are referred to effective helping means of conveying speaker's thought and emotion. Even there are some cases that only nonverbal elements are sufficient to express communicant's thought, that is expressing speaker's thought with the help of gestures and facial expressions is particular phenomenon expanded from the peculiarity of speech process. As the article is closely connected with this certain feature of paralinguistic, we dare say its importance of the article is much more objective. The following tasks to achieve the aim are: a) to make classification of paralinguistic; b) to define the function of prosodic, proxemics and kinesics means in communication; c) to determine stylistic features of nonverbal means.
