Nonverbal communication encompasses various nonlinguistic means of conveying messages, including facial expressions, gestures, eye movements, body orientation, vocal cues (volume, pitch, rate, inflection), spatial cues, olfactory cues, appearance, color, and the use of time. 2. The functions of nonverbal communication include contradicting or negating verbal messages, emphasizing or underscoring a message, regulating or controlling interpersonal interactions, reinforcing or complementing verbal messages, and substituting for spoken words. 3. Types of non-verbal cues encompass kinesics (body language and facial expressions), paralinguistic cues (variations in voice), proxemics (use of space and distance), haptics (different types of touching), clothing and artifacts (appearance and style), color (variations in colors), and chronemics (using time to communicate). 4. Nonverbal communication plays a crucial role in conveying meaning and enhancing the effectiveness of verbal communication by adding context, emotion, and emphasis to the spoken words.
