It includes sounds, words, or speaking. The tone, volume, and pitch of one's voice can all contribute to effective verbal communication. Non-verbal communication is communication between people through non-verbal or visual cues. This includes gestures, facial expressions, body movement, timing, touch, and anything else that communicates without speaking. In this whole new generation, people normally communicate with each other verbally. Being talkative and understanding belong to the main elements in verbal communication. Along with being talkative and understanding, people have to identify the primary purpose of communication also. Attitude, behavior,

B. Verbal Communication: Language Variety and Language Register Verbal communication refers to the use of sounds and language to relay a message. It serves as a vehicle for expressing desires, ideas and concepts and is vital to the processes of learning

and teaching. In combination with nonverbal forms of communication, verbal communication acts as the primary tool for expression between two or more people. In sociolinguistics, language variety—also called lect —is a general term for any distinctive form of a language or linguistic expression. Linguists commonly use language variety (or simply variety) as a cover term for any of the overlapping subcategories of a language, including dialect, register, jargon, and idiolect. Varieties of language develop for a number of reasons: differences can come about for geographical reasons; people who live in different geographic areas often develop distinct dialects—variations of standard English. Those who belong to a specific group, often academic or professional, tend to adopt jargon that is known to and understood by only members of that select group. Even individuals develop idiolects, their own specific ways of speaking. The most common language varieties are the following:

  1. A dialect is a regional or social variety of a language distinguished by pronunciation, grammar, and/or vocabulary.
  2. Register is defined as the way a speaker uses language differently in different circumstances.
  3. Jargon refers to the specialized language of a professional or occupational group. In linguistics, the register is defined as the way a speaker uses language differently in different circumstances. Registers are marked by a variety of specialized vocabulary and turns of phrases, colloquialisms and the use of jargon, and a difference in intonation and pace. The two main types of register are formal and informal but
  1. Formal: used in professional, academic, or legal settings where communication is expected to be respectful, uninterrupted, and restrained.
  2. Consultative: People use this register often in conversation when they're speaking with someone who has specialized knowledge or who is offering advice.
  3. Casual: This is the register people use when they're with friends, close acquaintances and co-workers, and family.
  4. Intimate: Linguists say this register is reserved for special occasions, usually between only two people and often in private. C. Non-verbal Communication Non-verbal communication occurs without using any oral or written word. Instead of written or oral words, it relies on various non-verbal cues like physical movements, tasks, colors, signs, symbols, signals charts etc. to express feelings, attitudes or information. Although no word is used in non-verbal communication, it can effectively communicate many human feelings more accurately than verbal methods of communication Types of Non-verbal Communication:
  5. Kinetics - is all about communication through body movements, such as gestures and facial expressions. It is all about non-verbal behavior using any part of the body. It also includes communicating using the body as a whole.
  6. Paralanguage - is the voice intonation that accompanies speech, including voice pitch, voice tone and the rhythm of speech.
  7. Proxemics (personal, tertiary, acoustic) - communicating using space and the arrangement of objects in space.

 Personal - is used for talking with family and close friends. Personal distance can range from 2 to 4 feet.  Tertiary - is measured at 12 or more feet between persons.
