Kinesics is the study of body language and non-verbal communication. It is considered an intelligent form of communication. The document discusses several sub-categories of kinesics including physical appearance, eye contact, posture, proxemics, paralinguistics, and chronemics. Physical appearance, eye contact, posture, and proxemics communicate information about how we want to be perceived and arrange personal space. Paralinguistics and chronemics involve how we communicate through properties of speech like tone and timing. Kinesics provides important context and meaning beyond the actual words.
