Abstract

Effective communication is the combined harmony of verbal and nonverbal actions. Gestures and spoken language often go hand in hand. Usually a part of the meaning is expressed by a certain gesture. The meaning of a gesture has some variations depending on the strength of the handshake, its duration, a smile accompanied by other facial expressions such as eye movements, jaw-drop, the tense mouth which are accurately reflecting what’s going on inside the speaker.
