  1. Nonverbal Communication Adler & Towne say that nonverbal communication involves messages without words. So, this lesson becomes a continuation of the last chapter in that they both focus on the message part of the model. Whole worlds of meaning can be created without words, just think of silent films. Ex. The Husband of Irma Ex. The Gambler Some say that there are three message codes: -the verbal code=7% of message meaning -the body language code=55% of message meaning -the paralanguage code=38% of message meaning What do you think? Ex. Yellow Stonie, my pup

  7. Some Concluding Thoughts/Questions Concerning Nonverbal Communication Do you think we can write a grammar of NV? Do you think that we really gather the vast portion of the meaning of a message from the NV aspects? Any exceptions? Do you think there are any universal nonverbal symbols?
