FACE-TO-FACE COMMUNICATION 2.2.1. Introduction Oral communication can be done in the form of face to face communication (which is also known as face to face conversation) or with the use of technological devices like cell phones. Face to face communication is an oral and fundamental form of communication. Here, the sender and the receiver discyss and argue on the important points on-the-spot by directly communicating with each other, This type of communication helps the receiver to gain more understanding about the sender’s intentions by thoroughly analysing his eye contact patterns and body language. Besides being verbal, face to face communication can also be non-verbal, where the sender can communicate messages with the receiver by using facial expressions and body language. Thus, it helps in reducing the communication gaps and barriers. Face to face communication is an effective way of communicating as it involves personal contact. Only through face to face communication, the message can be adequately delivered. However, other mediums like telephones can be used for verbal communication but the information cannot be conveyed properly through them as they do not involve personal contact. Written communication, on the other hand, involves notes-making and long explanations, which consumes a lot of time; while, face to face communication involves certain things which can be done verbally in a more effective way as people can exchange clarifications, doubts, and explanations orally. slements and Styles of Communication 7 7.2.2.

[Link]. Words A word, being a component of language, comprises of one or more morphemes connected together (more or less strongly), holding a particular meaning and a phonetic value. Generally, a word comprises of a stem or root with or without affixes. Phrases, clauses, and sentences can be formed by combining these words. The word formed by combining two or more stems is called a compound. Similarly, the word formed by combining two or more words or segments of words is called a portmanteau, Even if the words are allotted a lower percentage in the Mchrabian Rule, they hold much importance as every listener interprets words in his/her own way. The speaker is subconsciously aware of the fact that the listener might not understand everything that he is saying as the usage and phrasing of words can change the meaning of the message altogether. Thus, it is difficult to universally determine Ir ‘outcome of written or spoken words. The words that we choose should reflect the respect and the level of authority | required in the communication. One should understand that our words should deliver the same meaning to every kind of person irrespective of his/her knowledge base. “The value of these words significantly rises ten times in written communication as the readers can understand the meaning and the action required from the written words, Also, correct grammar and spelling are vital in written communication. ‘The meaning of the words used in communication can vary from being very ambiguous to very specific.

Body Language @ According to Mehrabian, non-verbal communication contributes to more than half of the message being sent. This suggests that over 50% of the message communication is done by conveying intuitive messages through body language. This tone is indicated by a character (v/a) which is Above the syllable being referred. Here, (v) » While (A) represents rising tone. For example, etc. The intensity of emotions (less or more), ‘aker, depicts the extent of tones like high/low rise or Body language refers to non-verbal signs that we use in conveying a message. It presents the mental and physical capability of an individual during a non-verbal communication. Different types of gestures, eye movements, body postures, etc., are an integral part of kinesics, Such types of signals are widely used unintentionally while communicating with people and they are interpreted in a certain way during their transmission, For example, if a good boss is reprimanding his employees without showing a sign of anger on his face, it shows he is worried about the improvement of performance of his employees and it is taken positively by the concerned employees and leads to positive results. Body language covers various actions of the body like a person's stance, walking style and different facial expressions, These actions depend upon the state-of- mind and attitude of the person. Thus, if an individual's body movements or attitude reflects any type of meaning, it is called body language. Recalling additional hints like perception and noting down a set of signs instead of one sign is crucial in understanding body language. Hence, people can make lasting impressins on othérs through their body language when meeting for the first time. This can happen in two ways: }) The first impression of someone can be mainly defined by their body language (both at conscious and unconscious levels), on seeing them for the first time. 2) On the contrary, people can make a first impression about us when they see us for the first time through our non-verbal hints and body language, Role/ Importance of Body-Language _D, Regulates the Flow of Communication: Body language has a very _ important role of regulating and timing the flow of communication.
