How to Read a Facial Expression?

When a person speak, when ones make face, what does it mean from her mind and from her heart? Does the face display indicate the right things of what ones is saying? Does ones speak different from what inside her heart?

Feelings are sometimes expressed through different facil expression. The following figure shows different usage of feelings through facial expression

Through DataFace website, it says that Expression implies a revelation about the characteristics of a person, a message about something internal to the expresser. In the context of the face and nonverbal communication, expression usually implies a change of a visual pattern over time, but as a static painting can express a mood or capture a sentiment, so too the face can express relatively static characteristics (sometimes called physiognomy). The concept of facial expression, thus, includes:

• characteristic of a person that is represented, i.e., the signified;
• visual configuration that represents this characteristic, i.e., the signifier;
• the physical basis of this appearance, or sign vehicle, e.g., the skin, muscle movements, fat, wrinkles, lines, blemishes, etc.; and
• typically, some person or other perceiver that perceives and interprets the signs.

However, this is totally different when we discuss on Face Reading. Face Reading is like undergoing occult studies on predicting ones personality through it face features.

Lin through her website said that face can be read like a map. Physiognomy is also called personology. She also outlining the fact of reading face is for relationship, entertainment and personality. Visit her link to read more.
