<strong>verbal</strong> Communicator properties can tell much more: namely, <strong>the</strong> attitude <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

speaker to <strong>the</strong> said, sympathy or antipathy to <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>terlocutor, etc.<br />

The ma<strong>in</strong> sources <strong>of</strong> research <strong>in</strong>vestigat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> non-<strong>verbal</strong> <strong>communication</strong> are<br />

published <strong>in</strong> V. Morozov, G. Pochepcov, V. Bogdanov, O. Pochepcov,<br />

In general, non-<strong>verbal</strong> <strong>communication</strong> (NC) is <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> process <strong>of</strong> <strong>verbal</strong><br />

<strong>communication</strong> <strong>in</strong> parallel with <strong>verbal</strong>, extend<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> boundaries <strong>of</strong> perception.<br />

<strong>Non</strong>-<strong>verbal</strong> no word is <strong>the</strong> means <strong>of</strong> <strong>communication</strong> tools that accompany <strong>the</strong><br />

language <strong>of</strong> <strong>communication</strong> and transmission <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>formation <strong>in</strong> [3, p. 20].<br />

However, <strong>the</strong> NC concept goes far beyond <strong>the</strong> <strong>communication</strong> because it has<br />

<strong>in</strong>dependent value and is implemented <strong>in</strong> many o<strong>the</strong>r systems and channels <strong>of</strong><br />

transmission [6, p. 57]. For example, <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> field <strong>of</strong> polisensor human <strong>in</strong>teraction<br />

with <strong>the</strong> external world (<strong>in</strong>volv<strong>in</strong>g different organs <strong>of</strong> senses: vision, hear<strong>in</strong>g, sk<strong>in</strong><br />

tactile reception). As for <strong>the</strong> concept <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> NC, it is relatively new, s<strong>in</strong>ce had<br />

formulated <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> 50’s years <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> twentieth century. Paral<strong>in</strong>guistic<br />

Evolutionary historical ensient;<br />

Independence from <strong>the</strong> semantics <strong>of</strong> language;<br />

Independence from language barriers;<br />

The acoustic features <strong>of</strong> encod<strong>in</strong>g methods;<br />

Polysensoric nature [5, p. 23].<br />

In <strong>the</strong> L<strong>in</strong>guistics literature, <strong>the</strong>re is no consensus about <strong>the</strong> arsenal <strong>of</strong> non<strong>verbal</strong><br />

means <strong>of</strong> <strong>communication</strong> and <strong>the</strong>ir <strong>in</strong>ventory. Classification <strong>of</strong> non<strong>verbal</strong><br />

means is based on different criteria. The ma<strong>in</strong> characters <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> non<strong>verbal</strong> place<br />

occupied: phonation, that is a different voice characteristics (strength, timbre,<br />

diction); k<strong>in</strong>etics, i.e., facial expressions, gestures and postures; taketics, i.e., tap to<br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>terlocutor; proxemics, i.e., <strong>the</strong> distance between <strong>in</strong>terlocutors [4, s. 36].<br />

Some authors <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> non<strong>verbal</strong> features <strong>in</strong>clude silent and o<strong>the</strong>r non-<strong>verbal</strong> action<br />
