Abstract
The article considers whether verbal communication is fundamentally different from nonverbal communication. By tracing back origins, message features, and features of neurophysiological processing of verbal and nonverbal communication, the article identifies the nonverbal codes that form the nonverbal communication system and then more broadly examines the communicative functions of nonverbal communication on a range of different levels (e.g., structural, personal, interactional).
