Answer to Question 1

Answer: An important part of interpersonal communication is nonverbal communicationthat is, communication transmitted without words. Body language refers to gestures, facial expressions, and other body movements that convey meaning. A person frowning says something different from one who's smiling. Hand motions, facial expressions, and other gestures can communicate emotions or temperaments such as aggression, fear, shyness, arrogance, joy, and anger. Verbal intonation refers to the emphasis someone gives to words or phrases that conveys meaning. To illustrate how intonations can change the meaning of a message, consider the student who asks the instructor a question. The instructor replies, What do you mean by that? The student's reaction will vary, depending on the tone of the instructor's response. A soft, smooth vocal tone conveys interest and creates a different meaning from one that is abrasive and puts a strong emphasis on saying the last word.
