6. Sign languages are complex human languages that exhibit linguistic structuring at all levels: phonology (form), morphology, syntax, and semantics. The neural systems that support signed and spoken languages are similar, but not identical.
7. Body language is a type of a nonverbal communication in which physical behaviors, as opposed to words, are used to express or convey the information. Such behavior includes facial expressions, body posture, gestures, eye movement, touch and the use of space.
8. Paralanguage, also known as vocalics, is a component of meta-communication that may modify meaning, give nuanced meaning, or convey emotion, by using techniques such as prosody, pitch, volume, intonation, etc. It is sometimes defined as relating to nonphonemic properties only.
9. Proxemics is the study of human use of space and the effects that population density has on behaviour, communication, and social interaction. ... Proxemics remains a hidden component of interpersonal communication that is uncovered through observation and strongly influenced by culture.
10. Chronemics is the study of the use of time in nonverbal communication. Time perceptions include punctuality, willingness to wait, and interactions. The use of time can affect lifestyles, daily agendas, speed of speech, movements and how long people are willing to listen.
11. Haptic communication is a branch of nonverbal communication that refers to the ways in which people and animals communicate and interact via the sense of touch. Touch is the most sophisticated and intimate of the five senses.
