What is the different between verbal and nonverbal communication?
Verbal communication, although we sometimes think of it as only spoken language, by many people's definition often includes more than that. It encompasses Oral communication (which is the term more often used for spoken communication), including things like rate, volume, pitch, articulation, and pronunciation. It can also include sign language, visual communication, and written communication... although sometimes these other things are listed separately, depending on who is defining the terms.Non verbal communication includes those important but unspoken signals that individuals exhibit, specifically: body language (encompassing carriage/posture, appearance, listening, eye contact), hand gestures, and facial expressions. Non-verbal communication makes up the majority of the communication that we engage is, although it isn't always conscious.A very good example is: A man comes home late, hears from the kitchen the slamming of pots and pans and cupboard doors. He enters the kitchen, asks his wife "What's wrong, honey?" She answers, "Nothing!" as she slams another cupboard door and rolls her eyes toward the ceiling.She has spoken the word "Nothing", but it is her unspoken communication that tells him that "nothing" is not the real answer. It is clearly communicated by her actions.A truly effective communicator will train him or herself in nonverbal communication as well as other types.
Competent nonverbal communication requires which of the following?
First having the knowledge of nonverbal communication is essential. Pay attention to nonverbals by turning off the sound on your T.V. set and notice the nonverbals! Some people talk with increased gestures, some with increased facial animation. Note your own use of nonverbals. Make sure your gestures are communicative and not distracting. Note what expression you have on your face....is it a frown or a smile? Are you animated or stonefaced? Is the "melody" of your speech (another nonverbal) pleasant and carries meaning for your message? Is your pitch pleasing? Is your rate of speaking too fast or too slow? Do you put pauses in your verbal message? These, too are nonverbal meaning markers called "suprasegmentals."
