Kinds of Communication

- Understanding these types enhances communication effectiveness by aiding in message clarity and emphasis.
Non-Verbal Communication

Kinesics
- Refers to body language, gestures, and facial expressions which enhance storytelling and message delivery.
Proxemics
- Involves the use of physical space and distance between individuals, which varies culturally; e.g., Americans prefer close proximity, while English tend to maintain distance.
Haptics
- Language of touch that conveys emotions and culture; used in different contexts such as casual touches among friends or formal gestures in the workplace.
Chronemics
- The language of time; encompasses cultural perceptions of punctuality, such as the concept of "Filipino time" where arrival is often later than expected.
Appearance
- Language of looks-appearance. Reflects personal and cultural identity; can impact social perceptions and organizational representation (e.g., dress codes).
Artifacts
- Language of objects used to communicate whereby items and symbols can convey personal or cultural meaning, subject to interpretation.
Paralanguage
- Non-verbal vocal cues that include vocal quality, pitch, tempo, volume, and junctures, affecting the delivery and reception of spoken communication.
Verbal Communication
- Utilizes spoken or written language to convey information; essential for clarity and understanding in interactions.
Phonology

Semantics
