VERBAL AND NON- VERBAL MEANS OF COMMUNICATION AMONG HUMAN BEINGS

Аннотация

Language functions as the paramount vehicle for communication, facilitating human interaction within society and with the surrounding world. The process of communication is multifaceted, encompassing both linguistic and non-linguistic forms that permit the conveyance of information, affects, concepts, and stances. This paper provides an analysis of the nature of communication, with specific attention directed toward the characteristics, functions, and interdependency of verbal and non-verbal interaction. Furthermore, it addresses the evolution of human linguistic capabilities, the underlying cognitive and social mechanisms, and the definitive distinctions from animal communication systems. The analysis concludes by highlighting impediments to communicative efficacy, the influence of cultural variables on language utilization, and the reciprocal relationship linking language, cognition, and the social sphere.
