Abstract

In article use of number of nonverbal components and their communicative sense in the certain
context the author proves a variety of meanings of head movement from the base of semantics, despite
similarity of origin of these movements in the process of communication.
Such nonverbal elements as thenoddingby head, bow, stroking of the head and etc. transmitted
through the somatizm «head» and belongs only to one limb of the body can have different shades of
sense. Rocking by the head can mean disagreement, admiration, concern, regret. Thus, the gesticulation
connected with rocking of the head replaces the absent modal words and verbal types of communication, and also can define mood of the person in this or that situation of communication. Such nonverbal
components as bow by the head, stroking of the head etc. can also fill a homonymic row. There are lots
of these kinds of nonverbal components in language.
