1. Introduction
With the development of global economy and international communication, the distance between countries has been closer and closer. We will see more foreigners than ever before coming to China for investment, and large numbers of Chinese decide to go aboard to gain more opportunities. As we all know, China and America are both strong countries in the world and more communication between the people from the two countries will do well to the stability of the world.
Body language, as a branch of nonverbal communication, plays an important role in the intercultural communication. There have been many previous studies on body language. However, most of them lay emphasis on the differences of body language between China and western countries from cultural perspective. Few focus on the importance of body language in China-America business communication. Therefore, this thesis, based on the study of body language and its cultural difference, is to explore the importance of body language in China-America business communication so as to draw some hints for more successful business communication. Part one is an introduction of the thesis. In the second part of this thesis, the writer mainly explains the features and function of body language, and researches on body language and international business communication. Part three is to introduce the China-America differences of body language from cultural perspectives. Part four is the analysis of roles of body language in business negotiations and social communication. Finally, conclusion is drawn about the importance of body language in business communication.源'自:751-'论/文'网"www.751com.cn
