3. ABSTRACTION

The Verbal Communication is a type of oral communication wherein the message is

transmitted through the spoken words. Hence, verbal communication makes use of either
spoken or words, written words, or both.

Verbal communication therefore requires both a speaker (or writer) to transmit the message,
and a listener (or reader) to make sense of the message.

FOUR TYPES OF VERBAL COMMUNICATION

1. Intrapersonal Communication
This form of communication is extremely private and restricted to ourselves.

2. Interpersonal Communication
This form of communication takes place between two individuals and is thus a one-on-one
conversation.

3. Small Group Communication

This type of communication can take place only when there are more than two people
involved.

4. Public Communication
This type of communication takes place when one individual address a large gathering of
people. Election campaigns and public speeches are example of this type of communication.

NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION
is the transfer of information through body language, facial expressions, gestures, created
space and more.

Here are some types of nonverbal communication and the effects they can have on the
success of your communication:
1. Facial Expression
2. Gestures
3. Body movement and posture
4. Eye contact
5. Touch
6. Space

FIVE ROLES OF NON - VERBAL COMMUNICATION

 Repetition- The words are repeated by non- verbal cues, as shown by a thumbs-up
sign for approval.
 Contradiction- The words are opposed to non-verbal cues, as manifested by a
shaking of the head to signal an approval.
 Substitution- The words are replaced by non-verbal cues, as exemplified by a nod in
place of saying “yes”.
 Complementing- The words are intensified by non-verbal cues, as exhibited by a pat
on someone’s shoulder after giving him praise.
 Accenting- The words are emphasized by non-verbal cues, such as displayed by
pounding of the table simultaneously done with the expression of words.
