Abstract
Nonverbal language is a language that is expressed without using words. This article specifically deals with the forms and functions of ethnic Javanese nonverbal language. Nonverbal languages are divided into two, namely dynamic nonverbal language and static nonverbal language. This study was conducted using the ethnopragmatic approach for education. The form of dynamic nonverbal language encompasses the entire body and its parts and movements, and static nonverbal language in the form of the whole body and its parts which are perceived subjectively by the hearer. Dynamic nonverbal language forms include head nods, eye gazes, facial expressions, lip movements, hand movements, elbow movements, finger movements, and handshakes. Meanwhile, the forms of static nonverbal languages include the shape of the lips, the cheeks, the teeth, the nose, the eyeball, hair color, posture, skin color, etc. Dynamic nonverbal language functions are different from the functions of static nonverbal language. Dynamic nonverbal language functions are determined by speakers, while nonverbal static language functions depend on the hearer’s perception and understanding..
