1. What
is Greeting?
What Is Greeting? - In
everyday conversation, there are expressions commonly used to start, and end a
conversation. Sentence commonplace greeting used to begin a conversation.
Meanwhile, to end a conversation, the phrase commonly used is the sentence
before saying goodbye and closing.
Greeting
is an act of communication
in which human beings (as well as other members of the animal kingdom) intentionally
make their presence known to each other, to show attention to, and to suggest a
type of relationship or social status
between individuals or groups of people coming in contact with each other.
While greeting customs
are highly culture-
and situation-specific and may change within a culture depending on social
status and relationship, they exist in all known human cultures. Greetings can
be expressed both audibly and physically, and often involve a combination of
the two. This topic excludes military and ceremonial salutes
but includes rituals other than gestures.
Greetings are often, but not always, used just prior to a conversation. Some
epochs and cultures have had very elaborate greeting rituals, e.g., greeting of
a king. Secret societies
have clandestine greeting rituals that allow members to recognize common
membership.
2. Greeting Gestures
Denis Thatcher,
husband of former Prime Minister of
the United Kingdom Margaret Thatcher,
greets former American First Lady
Nancy Reagan
by kissing her hand, 1988.
Beyond the formal greeting, which
may involve a verbal acknowledgment and sometimes a hand shake, facial
expression, gestures, body language and eye contact can all signal what type of
greeting is expected. Gestures are the most obvious signal, for instance
greeting someone with open arms is generally a sign that a hug is expected.
Facial expression, body language and eye contact reflect emotions and interest
level. A frown, slouching and lowered eye contact suggests disinterest, while
smiling and an exuberant attitude is a sign of welcome.
