This document discusses verbal and nonverbal communication. It notes that nonverbal cues like body language and facial expressions can reinforce, complement, or contradict what is said verbally. Some key nonverbal communication modes are eye contact, gestures, posture, touch, and facial expressions. However, nonverbal signals can vary significantly across cultures and what may be acceptable in one culture may be offensive in another due to differences in norms around appearance, body movement, gestures, eye contact, and touching. Proper understanding of cultural differences is important for effective nonverbal communication.
