Answer:
Verbal communication uses language, words, sentences, and voice as the medium of communication. Nonverbal communication uses body language, facial expressions, tone, and pauses in speech as the medium of communication. ... Nonverbal communication can only occur when all the parties in the conversation can see each other.
There are four fundamental differences between verbal and nonverbal communication. The first difference between verbal and nonverbal communication is that we use a single channel (words) when we communicate verbally versus multiple channels when we communicate nonverbally. Try this exercise! Say your first and last name at the same time. You quickly find that this is an impossible task. Now, pat the top of your head with your right hand, wave with your left hand, smile, shrug your shoulders, and chew gum at the same time. While goofy and awkward, our ability to do this demonstrates how we use multiple nonverbal channels simultaneously to communicate.
