Analysis of the Concepts and Functions of Non-Verbal Communication in Islamic Texts, A Case Study of Jami's SelseleYe Al-Zahab Masnavi

Linguistic communication is usually accompanied by other communication methods such as movement behaviors, which are called non-verbal or extra-linguistic communication. Nonverbal communication in the speech process can have substitute, emphasizing or denying roles, although sometimes they play several roles together. Some researchers consider non-verbal communication more important than verbal communication in some situations; Because the transfer of meanings and meanings takes place more than non-verbal behaviors. Therefore, in this research, an attempt is made to investigate the non-verbal communication in Jami's Al-Zahb through a descriptive-analytical method. Determining the nonverbal components in this Masnava is the main goal and the classification and function of non-verbal communication is a secondary research goal. Communication is one of the main goals of language. The result of this research shows that Jami has used most of the non-verbal communication elements in this Masnavi and the elements that have been used the most are functions related to body movement 204 cases, objects 88, visual communication 86, face concepts 76, lip and mouth concepts 76 and... Also, the studies show that the concepts and messages that were transmitted through this method played a complementary and essential role in the transmission of the desired concepts.
