Verbal and Nonverbal Communication

This article focuses on research on verbal and non verbal communication. First of all, we need to know what language communication and non-verbal communication are. Nonverbal communication is a way for people to communicate intentionally or unintentionally without words. Nonverbal communication uses nonverbal cues such as facial expression, intonation, gesture, posture, movement, usage of touch, gaze (Aronson, Wilson, & Akert, 2013). Verbal communication is actually said.

Nonverbal communication is usually more meaningful than verbal communication Nonverbal communication is meaningless than verbal communication Nonverbal communication is often more ambiguous than verbal communication. Non-verbal information about our personal presentation, clothing style, and our identity will be sent in environments such as dormitories, apartments, cars or offices. Analyze some non verbal signals sent by your personal presentation or environment. How do they say who you are? Do they create the impression you desire?

There are four fundamental differences between verbal communication and nonverbal communication. The first difference between linguistic communication and nonverbal communication is to use a single channel (word) when communicating verbally with multiple channels when engaging in nonverbal communication. Please try this exercise. Please tell me your name at the same time. You immediately discovered that this was an impossible task. Now, tap your head lightly with your right hand, shake with your left hand, shrug your shoulders and crush the gum. Foolish and clumsy, the ability to do so proves how to use multiple non-verbal channels to communicate at the same time.

The third difference between linguistic communication and nonverbal communication is that we consciously use verbal communication and usually use unveriginal nonverbal communication. Conscious communication is to consider verbal communication before communication. Unconscious communication means not considering any nonverbal messages we communicate with. If you've heard this sentence since you were a child, "Before talking" you are told the basic principles of verbal communication. In fact, it is almost impossible not to think before speaking. When we talk, we are not intentional or intentional. On the contrary, when interesting things happen, I do not think that 'let's laugh and laugh'. Instead, you react unconsciously to express your emotions through these nonverbal behaviors. Nonverbal communication can occur as an unconscious reaction to the situation. We have never claimed that all nonverbal communication is unconscious.
