Advantages of Non-verbal and verbal communication. Disadvantages too. 5 points

Answer» Advantages of non-verbal communication:Complementary: Non-verbal cues complement a verbal message by adding to its meaning. You can pat someone you offended at the back as you say sorry to him or her.Easy presentation: Information can be easily presented in non-verbal communication through using visual, audio-visual and silent means of non-verbal communication.Substituting: Non-verbal message may substitute for the verbal message especially if it is blocked by noise, interruption, long distance etc. for example; gestures-finger to lips to indicate need for quite, facial expressions- a nod instead of a yes.Accenting: Often used to accent a verbal message. Verbal tone indicates the actual meaning of the specific words.Repeat: Used to repeat the verbal message (e.g. point in a direction while stating directions.)Disadvantages or limitations of non-verbal communication:Despite of advantages of non-verbal communication, it is not free from its limitations or disadvantages which are:Vague and imprecise: Non-verbal communication is quite vague and imprecise. Since in this communication, there is no use of words or language which expresses clear meaning to the receiver. No dictionary can accurately classify them. Their meaning varies not only by culture and context but by the degree of intention.Continuous: It is possible to stop talking in\xa0verbal communication, but it is generally not possible to stop nonverbal cues. Also, spoken language has a structure that makes it easier to tell when a subject has changed, for instance, or to analyze its grammar. Nonverbal does not lend itself to this kind of analysis.Multi-channel: while watching someone’s eyes, you may miss something significant in a hand gesture. Everything is happening at once and therefore it may be confusing to try to keep up with everything. Most of us simply do not do so, at least not consciously.Advantages of Verbal CommunicationFollowing are the\xa0advantages of Verbal Communication:\t\xa0It saves time in communication.\xa0\t\xa0It is quick in obtaining feedback once delivered.\t\xa0It provides complete understanding of communication delivered and there is chance to make it more clear in case of doubts in interpretation of words or ideas.\xa0\t\xa0It is more reliable method of communication.\xa0\t\xa0It is flexible and effective for all.\xa0\t\xa0It is powerful means of persuation and control.\xa0\t\xa0It is cheaper way of communication and hence saves money.\xa0Disadvantages of Verbal CommunicationFollowing are the\xa0disadvantages of Verbal Communication:\t\xa0Emotions are visible and hence leads to trouble in certain cases.\xa0\t\xa0It has no legal validity and hence will lead to problems in certain situations.\xa0\t\xa0It does not provide permanent record unless it is recorded with modern means of storage.\xa0\t\xa0It has issues when communicating with distant people.\xa0\t\xa0It is difficult for certain people to understand speech due to various speech tones used in verbal communication.\xa0\t\xa0This form of communication is not suitable for lengthy message.\xa0
