Communicating Non-Verbally
Nonverbal communication can be termed as a form of communication whereby message is passed wordlessly. In other words, the language is not part of communication and instead body language, facial expression, posture, gesture and eye contact are meant to pass the message. According to McCornack, a speech contains non verbal element such as, speaking style, voice quality, pitch, volume, rate, as well as prosodic features such as rhythm, intonation and stress. Codes of non verbal communication are sound, sight, touch, smell, kinesthetic channel or taste.
In non verbal communication, time is among the factors considered in willingness to wait for the gestures and the speed of speech, as well as interpretation of the body language. Non verbal communication is used to display feeling and emotions in verbal communication. For instance, when talking body language is used to interpret and stress the message passed. This can be noticed when someone contradicts the body language and the words, especially when one is lying and does not maintain eye contact.
