Communication by Gestures and Facial ExpressionsNonverbal communication can be defined as the transfer of messages without the use of words. It uses physical movement; such as hand gestures and body language, as well as facial expressions; for example, eye contact, frowning, and smiling. Marta Dynel defines non-verbal communication (NVC) as follows: While in broad definitions, NVC includes any type of non-verbal messages (or non-verbal signs) specific to informative processes, narrower definitions limit it to non-language (or better non-linguistic). ) phenomena that are interrelated – often in complex ways – with verbal language and can be found in interactive or communicative processes. Nonverbal Communication Nonverbal communication does not rely on the use of words to convey its meaning. “Nonverbal communication is generally understood as the communication process of sending and receiving messages without words. These non-verbal messages can be conveyed through body gestures, postures, facial expressions and eye contact” (Subramani 2010). Nonverbal communication is simply that, communication without words. Non-verbal communication is present every day in our society. This goes hand in hand with verbal communication. It completes and enhances the words. According to David McNeill, gestures have two essential characteristics: they carry meaning and are synchronous with speech. He goes on to say: “gesture and speech express the same underlying unity of idea but express it in their own way. » The gestures and their coordinating words are presented at the same time by the speaker. David McNeill defines this phenomenon as “co-expressive”. The timing of the speech and its coordination gesture are very important. This shows that what is in the middle of the paper varies in the same way as the dialects of a language. Non-verbal communication has become a part of life and should be used as much as possible. This adds emotion and feeling to the message sent and also shows understanding and understanding on the part of the recipient. Works CitedBeattie, G. and Shovelton, H. (2011).
