The article deals with the thorough description of main directions of modern kinesic research in the paralinguistic aspect. Particular attention is paid to the term "paralinguistics", which studies communicatively meaningful nonverbal components and "kinesics," in which they consider the language of the body in a broad sense. It is defined which terms are used to denote non-verbal units. It is established that gestures can be considered as an auxiliary functional component. Gestures are necessary in cases where it is impossible to verbalize (for example, because of the language barrier and hearing problems). In addition, gestures are often used when verbal statements are considered socially inappropriate.It was analyzed which 6 main functions perform gestures. It was found out that the noncommunicational human systems of the person are subordinate, secondary systems. It is noted that non-verbal components are inherent in their regularities in the formation of the expression and transmission of information. The main directions of modern kinetic researches are indicated. Three large kinetic groups are considered: prequenics, microkinesics, macroconesisics. Nonverbal components are inherent in their regularities in the formation of the expression and transmission of information, which are now becoming the subject of research on the theory of communication.Principal methodological issues that cover the study of all types of kinesics (from gestures to pantomime), phonation (from speech to vocal art), proxemic (posture, position of communications), as well as communication with the participation of so-called situational text will create the opportunity to prevent communicative failures in the process of communication of representatives of different ethnic cultures.
