3. Silence, Time & Space

 NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION
 Non -Verbal Communication is the message or response not expressed or sent in words -hints ,
suggestions , indications.

 Actions speak louder than words.

 There is a distinction between the meanings we ‘give’ in words and the meanings we ‘give –off ’ in Non-
Verbal signals.

 Non -Verbal signals are unconscious parts of our behavior which is a deeply rooted part in our entire
psychological makeup.

 NVC stands for the innermost, instinctual form of human communication.

impressions that affects receivers’ attitude towards the verbal message even
before they read or hear them.

 An envelope's size, color, weight, postage may impress the reader as

“Important”, “Routine” or “Junk Mail”.
 Letter, Report, or Title Page communicates nonverbally before its contents
are read.

components of language are spelling, grammar, punctuation and the choice
of the words selected in communication.

Effects on Oral Messages:

or the appearance of the surroundings
convey non verbal stimuli to the single
person or a group.

listener or listeners towards the spoken
words of the speaker.

cosmetics, posture, stature are part of
personal appearance which reflect
impressions regarding occupation, age,
nationality, social and economic level.
