Relationship Between Verbal Communication And Nonverbal Communication

Relationship between verbal communication and nonverbal communication

The claim of this essay is to expose how the verbal and nonverbal expression is related, since both can be different from each other, but in the act of communication they complement each other perfectly, starting from the picture “The two fridas” by Frida Kahlo. Communication has existed since the birth of humanity, where a great effort was exercised to make. Since prehistory to the present day, communication has advanced and it is clear that all human beings use these two types of communication, interchangeably more than the other is used.

First we will briefly examine verbal expression, day by day it is necessary to communicate independently of what activity we do, to Fajardo (2009), communication between individuals is very important for many reasons, including access and exchange of information, open discussions of open discussionsideas and negotiation of differences and problems (P. 124). In general we typecast communication as the verbal expression of what we mean to others, it is not bad, but this is also complemented by the non -oral expression, which we will talk about later, made this exception we can continue our analysis, verbal expressionAlthough, from my point of view, it is the clearest to communicate the message to our receiver, but scarce to completely demonstrate the feelings and can be limited by several factors, the most representative example is the language, if the issuerThe message has no knowledge about the language of the receiver, the verbal expression of the message will be practically impossible, in addition to the language it is also worth noting that what the speaker says can only be understood if the listener shares with him a series of social figures that heLet access to the context and a set of assumptions with which the speaker will take care of implementing preferences (Fajardo, 2009, p.

141).

Now let’s see the nonverbal expression, which according to Valiente (2014) “constitutes an important element within the communicative process, since it contributes to reach an effective transmission of the sense of the statements” (P.two). With this idea you can have a broad panorama about the importance of this expression, which varies between cultures, since, for example, for us a gesture means a specific thing, in another country the same gesture means a completely different thing or notThere is the meaning of that gesture, which leads to the possibility of falling into wrong interpretations of the nonverbal message transmitted. In the nonverbal expression, several systems have been defined, but two of them are the most used for their communicative impact, these are the paralinguistic that “studies the nonverbal behavior expressed by the phonic elements, eg. La Voz "and the quinetic that" deals with nonverbal communication expressed through body movements "(Valiente, 2014, p.4). The oral expression, unlike verbal expression, can demonstrate camouflaged feelings and emotions, taking as an example the work "The two fridas", there we can see a story built with emotions that vaguely express and understand verbally, but making theMessage is internalized by another person through what he sees, an understanding is achieved beyond what is explicit in painting.

In conclusion, all human beings indiscriminately from their race, religion, political or social position, nationality, among others, in the act of communication we use verbal and nonverbal expression, since these go hand in hand regardless of context orThe situation and that consciously or unconsciously while communicating what we say verbally with gestures and/or movements of the body, giving greater firmness and credibility to the message what we are transmitting, also allowing greater interpretive clarity by the receiver. And so it is not using verbal expression, nonverbal expression is always used, through gestures, behaviors, art, among others, to show what we do not want or do not exist exact words to say it, but that sprouts within us.
