The Puzzle of Communication: The Triad of Language, Paralanguage & Body Language
Communication is like a puzzle with language as one piece, conveying stories and cultures for self-expression. It's a three-part harmony: language, paralanguage (how you say it), and body language (how you show it). Thoughts become words, that's 'What you say.' Paralanguage adds depth with tone, pitch, and more, also 'How you say it.' Body language brings your words to life, part of 'How you say it.'
