جماليات لغة االعيون و دلالاتها اللغوية

Abstract EN

Body language is language that emerges from the nonverbal gestures of the inner soul, which bear the meaning of feelings and sensations that are concealed by individuals.

The movements of the head, hands and feet and their parts are signs which reveal honestly the secrets of the soul and which cannot be expressed by words.

The body represents the movements, positions and the different tones of voice.

Body language is one of the most important languages we use to communicate in various situations: It is used by military people, sportsmen and artists, and it goes beyond these occupations to express emotions.

Because the body expresses the individual's feelings, it reflects most of the social patterns one acquires from his/her immediate social context.

In addition, the limits of one's movements are dictated by the society to which he/she belongs, and any attempt to understand the significations and comprehend their meanings goes through predetermined social constraints.

The face is one of the parts of the body.

It expresses six emotions of different significations, including happiness, contentment, sadness, anger, fear, surprise and disgust.

The most prominent elements of the face are the eyes, whose presence is linked to the light and the vision that enable the human creature to realize its external world.

In this paper, we shall focus on the various meanings expressed by the eyes and their aesthetic dimensions.
