Body in movement: vocal cues, facial expression, eye movement, gesture, touch. The communication environment: proxemics, territory, architecture. Mediated nonverbal communication: film, advertising, politics (cid:1) We can generally define nonverbal communication as: communication effected by means other than words, but, ultimately, this definition is too simplistic (cid:1) Tone is non-verbal but what you"re saying is verbal. Verbal communication gains a large part of its meaningfulness from nonverbal cues. Although we may encode a sign nonverbally its decoding is often done linguistically . What this means is that many nonverbal cues (a-ok, hand wave) are signs that carry representational meaning: arbitrary relationship between a word and the thing it signifies. As such, they are also verbal or have a signifying element not unlike words (cid:1) Encoding: i. intrinsic the sign is the thing.
