Nonverbal communication between people is communication through sending and receiving wordless clues.
It includes the use of visual cues such as body language (kinesics), distance (proxemics) and physical environments/appearance, of voice (paralanguage) and of touch (haptics). It can also include chronemics (the use of time) and oculesics (eye contact and the actions of looking while talking and listening, frequency of glances, patterns of fixation, pupil dilation, and blink rate).
Just as speech contains nonverbal elements known as paralanguage, including voice quality, rate, pitch, volume, and speaking style, as well as prosodic features such as rhythm, intonation, and stress, so written texts have nonverbal elements such as handwriting style, spatial arrangement of words, or the physical layout of a page. However, much of the study of nonverbal communication has focused on interaction between individuals, where it can be classified into three principal areas: environmental conditions where communication takes place, physical characteristics of the communicators, and behaviors of communicators during interaction.
Silence is golden, Speech is Silver. Leyla Tacconi sets out to express the wonderful ways of communication without the influence of verbal speech. From gestures to posture, Tacconi illustrates that we are capable of communicating with any part of our body and we can easily live in the world without voice. Leyla Tacconi thrives with the ability to communicate her ideas through creative media, such as music and art. Having initially viewed silence as a boundary to communication, her love for the arts and Italian origin have evoked a new view towards non-verbal communication. Tacconi believes that if we use a little less sound and leave it all to nature and expression, we might make the world a better place. A conductor doesn’t speak to his orchestra; he uses body language in an extreme...
The constant miscommunication that occurs online is a direct result of the absence of nonverbal cues, not able to translate across a computer screen. "Friends" is the perfect example of how important these nonverbal cues can be in the interpretation of messages. Also, "Friends" goes to show that face-to-face communication is a much better alternative over digital communication in ensuring proper communication.
Dr Chris Shea works in non verbal strategy analysis for groups and individuals including analyses and skills training in non verbal communication. She will be doing a TEDx talk at TEDxMerseyside 2012 exploring the implications and uses of non verbal psychology. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

Imagine waking one day, you can't speak or write. If you do so, you will die. Then, what will you do to communicate with others on a daily basic? In this video, Jack McCall, played by Eddie Murphy, finds an unusual tree in his yard after an encounter with a spiritual guru. After discovering that with each word he speaks or writes, a leaf drops off of the tree, Jack refuses to speak at all, as doing so will keep the tree, and him, alive. He now just entered Starbucks and tries to order a coffee without saying a word or writing anything down.
Body language is a form of non-verbal communication, which consists of body posture, gestures, facial expressions, and eye movements. Humans send and interpret such signals almost entirely subconsciously. John Borg attests that human communication consists of 93 percent body language and paralinguistic cues, while only 7% of communication consists of words themselves;[1] however, Albert Mehrabian, the researcher whose 1960s work is the source of these statistics, has stated that this is a misunderstanding of the findings[2] (see Misinterpretation of Mehrabian's rule). Others assert that "Research has suggested that between 60 and 70 percent of all meaning is derived from nonverbal behavior."[3] Body language may provide clues as to the attitude or state of mind of a person. For example, ...
I do not own the rights to these videos. I put them together to teach nonverbal communication social skills. Clip 1: I Love Lucy "Vitametavegemin" Clip 2: I Love Lucy "Chocolate Factory" Clip 3: 1000 Words "Coffee Shop" The first two videos are to be watched without sound and students are to guess what is happening. The third is to show how nonverbal communication can be misinterpreted. I showed all my students that watching a person's face, shoulders, hands, and even listening to their tone is important to understanding nonverbal language. Enjoy!
