Определение и Значение "nonverbal communication"

What is "nonverbal communication"?

Nonverbal communication refers to the transmission of messages or information without the use of spoken or written words. This form of communication includes various elements such as facial expressions, body language, gestures, posture, eye contact, and even the use of space or touch. Nonverbal cues can convey emotions, attitudes, and intentions, often providing context to verbal messages or, in some cases, substituting for them altogether. Understanding nonverbal communication is essential for effective interpersonal interactions, as it can enhance or contradict verbal messages, influencing how messages are received and interpreted.
