The video explains: 1. Verbal messages in interpersonal communication follow several principles, including the packaging of messages through verbal and non-verbal behaviours, the role of individual perceptions in creating meaning, and the distinction between connotative and denotative meanings. 2. Messages are influenced by the unique perspectives of individuals, and the same message can be interpreted differently by different people. 3. Connotative meanings are emotional and subjective, while denotative meanings are objective definitions of words. 4. Messages also vary in abstraction, assertiveness, and politeness, and understanding these variations is crucial for effective communication. 5. Politeness in communication involves maintaining both positive and negative face needs and can be expressed through direct or indirect language, inclusion or exclusion of others, and confirmation or disconfirmation of their presence and contributions.
