How verbal communication is used
Introduction
Description of the meaning of non-verbal communication to the audience.
Provide an overview of nonverbal communication and where it is used along with the relevant context and example, such as the people who lack verbal ability to talk.
Link the vitality of nonverbal communication to the audience and how they use it, such as facial expressions and the forehead’s movement, while explaining of affirming an utterance.
Thesis statement: Non-verbal communication is part of our daily lives as it is used to pass messages and enhance understanding in various ways.
Attention winner.
- Nonverbal is an integral part of everyday communication and its complement and supplements verbal communication all the time.
- Non-verbal communication passes both expressed and implied messages to the onlookers, and it is as essential as verbal utterances.
- Non-verbal communication is a means for spurring understanding beyond the verbal utterance. The articulation serves as an affirmation to verbal communication or a contradiction.
Relevancy Statement
Non-verbal communication is used, along with verbal communication, as a way of enhancing effective communication. All people with the ability to use both communications can attest to the idea that they complement each other and sometimes act as substitutes.
Credibility Statement
I have a personal interest in the subject of how non-verbal communication is used because other methods are established every day with changing generations based on the need for communication.
Body
Facial expression
Communication is an integral factor for a successful connection for expert and individual connection (Frith, 2009).
It is the most commonly used method and can depict sadness, happiness, fear, and anger.
Gestures.
The deliberate use of signals and movements is one way of conveying meaning without the use of words (Goldin-Meadow, 2014).
It can be witnessed in court sessions when lawyers use nonverbal signals to sway the juror’s opinion.
Body Language and Posture
Studies on body language have grown greatly from the 1970s (Sokolov et al. 2011). Body languages are more subtle and less definitive than otherwise imagined. The interpretation has been focused on limited subjects such as leg-crossing, arm-crossing, and defensive posture.
Proxemics
Personal space sought by individuals is an integral part of nonverbal communication. The distance needed is influenced by the level of familiarity, personality characteristics, situational factors, cultural expectations, and social norms (McCall & Singer, 2015).
Artifacts
They relate to the images and objects that are used for communication. For example, in the online context, one would select an avatar to represent their identity. Such images portray the ideal they want to embody in a particular context.
Usually, individuals take time to develop their surroundings to act as a means of communication. They develop a specific image and surround themselves with objects that pass a certain message, hence communicating. For example, the uniforms worn by the police and soldiers pass a meaning to the public.
The connectedness of the nonverbal communication
Communication involves many verbal and non-verbal methods, which, as a whole, communicated effectively.
Conclusion
Communication is the lifeblood of socialization. Both verbal and non-verbal communicational play a vital role.
Summary of the non-verbal communication methods and their application explores in the speech.
Punchline: embrace nonverbal communication with other methods for effective communication and within the context of one’ known culture to avoid miscommunication
