8. Classification of Non Verbal Communication Non verbal form of communication include the following modes- Paralanguage (Voice Patterns) Proxemics (Space) Kinesics (Body Movements) Oculesics (Eyes) Chronemics (Time) Haptics (Touch) Colour Artifacts (Objects/Designs)

9. Paralanguage 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. Paralanguage may be expressed consciously or unconsciously.  The study of paralanguage is known as  paralinguistics , and was invented by George L. Trager in the 1950s

10. Aspects of the speech signal : 1. Perspectival aspects Speech signals arrive at a listener’s ears with acoustic properties that may allow listeners to identify location of the speaker 2. Organic aspects The speech organs of different speakers differ in size. As children grow up, their organs of speech become larger and there are differences between male and female adults. 3. Expressive aspects Paralinguistic cues such as loudness, rate, pitch, pitch contour, and to some extent formant frequencies of an utterance, contribute to the emotive or attitudinal quality of an utterance.  4. Linguistic aspects Ordinary phonetic transcriptions of utterances reflect only the linguistically informative quality. The problem of how listeners factor out the linguistically informative quality from speech signals is a topic of current research.

11. Proxemics Proxemics is the study of human use of space and the effects that population density has on behaviour, communication, and social interaction. Proxemics is one among several subcategories in the study of  nonverbal communication , including  haptics  (touch),  kinesics  (body movement),  vocalics  (paralanguage), and  chronemics  (structure of time).  The theory of proxemics is often considered in relation to the impact of technology on human relationships.

12. There are four forms of human territory in proxemic theory. They are: 1. Public territory : A place where one may freely enter. This type of territory is rarely in the constant control of just one person. However, people might come to temporarily own areas of public territory. 2. Interactional territory : A place where people congregate informally 3. Home territory : A place where people continuously have control over their individual territory 4. Body territory : The space immediately surrounding us

14. Kinesics Kinesics is  the study of how we use body movement. It includes body movements such as gestures, winkling, smiling, or style of dressing and grooming.

It conveys different meaning in different places as in China too much of direct eye contact is considered bad manners.

19. Chronemics Chronemics is the study of the use of time in nonverbal communication. The use of time can affect lifestyles, daily agendas, speed of speech, movements and how long people are willing to listen. Time can also be used as an indicator of status and attitude.
