What is Nonverbal Communication, The Definition of Nonverbal Communication

     What exactly is nonverbal communication? 

Nonverbal Communication Is communication that does not use spoken language and is not directly transferable into spoken or word language. For example, Sign Language is not considered nonverbal communication.

It includes Paralanguage or Vocalics (all the nuances of the voice and breathing), Chronemics (time), Kinesics (body language), Physical Attractiveness (looks), Proxemics (space), Haptics (touch), Environmental Cues, Physical appearance, Artifacts (things we wear or carry or attach to the body) that express identity, and Technics.
