Kinesics
• It is a body language.
• Language of gestures, expressions, and postures.
• we commonly use our arms and hands to say good-bye, point,
count, express excitement, warn away, threaten, insult etc.
• We use our head to say yes or no, to smile.
• Our head and shoulder in combination may shrug to indicate
that we do not know something.

Tone and Character of Voice
• The meaning of speech can also be altered significantly by tone
and character of voice.
• In English, the simple sentence "I'm here." can have very
different meaning depending on whether it is spoken with a
voice that is high, low, quick, slow, rising, falling, whispering,
whining, yelling, or sighing.
• "Are you here?" has a different meaning if it spoken in an rising
tone. Give it a try...

Proxemics
• When we speak to another individual or group, the distance our
bodies are physically apart also communicates a message.
• we all have a sense of what is a comfortable interaction distance
to a person with whom we are speaking.
• If that person gets closer than the distance at which we are
comfortable, we usually automatically back up to reestablish our
comfort zone.
• Similarly, if we feel that we are too far away from the person we
are talking to, we are likely to close the distance between us.
