Verbal & Non-Verbal Communication

Verbal and nonverbal communication are two primary means through which humans convey
information, thoughts, and emotions to one another:

(1) Verbal Communication: Verbal communication involves the use of spoken or

written words to convey messages and information. It includes language, grammar,
vocabulary, and syntax. Verbal communication can occur through various forms, such as
face-to-face conversations, phone calls, video chats, written documents, speeches, and
more. It is a structured and explicit way of conveying ideas and can be highly effective
for transmitting detailed and complex information.

Types of Verbal Communication

1. Public Communication
2. Small Group Communication
3. Intrapersonal Communication
4. Interpersonal Communication

(2) Nonverbal Communication: Nonverbal communication encompasses all forms of

communication that do not involve words. It includes facial expressions, body language,
gestures, eye contact, tone of voice, posture, and even the use of personal space.
Nonverbal cues often convey emotions, attitudes, and other subtle messages. They can
complement, reinforce, or contradict verbal messages. Nonverbal communication is
especially important in understanding the emotional context of a message and can be a
powerful tool for conveying feelings and intentions.

Types Of Non-Verbal Communication

1. Facial Expressions
2. Gestures
3. Proximity
4. Touch
5. Eye Contact
6. Appearance

Note: Both verbal and nonverbal communication are integral to human interaction, and they
often work together to convey a complete message. The effectiveness of communication relies

is understood and interpreted correctly.
