 What is the difference Between Gesture
And Posture?
• Gesture refers to a movement of part of the body, especially a hand or
the head, to express an idea or meaning.

• Posture refers to a particular position of the body. It is the way in

which your body is positioned when you are sitting or standing.
• The difference between gesture and posture is that a gesture conveys a
message by using one part of the body. Whereas a posture involves the
movement of the body as a whole.
How does Non-Verbal communication plays
role in support of Verbal communication?
• Nonverbal communication plays one of five different roles
in conjunction with the spoken word. Nonverbal communication can
reiterate the spoken message, contradict the message, or emphasize,
substitute or complement meaning. Sending contradictory messages can
make the speaker seem untrustworthy. Good speakers use these elements
to their advantage in interpersonal conversations as well as in public
speech.
