the theory of embodied communication

Embodied communication is the idea that we convey and understand messages not just through words but also via our body language, gestures, facial expressions, and posture. Our physical actions and responses are deeply connected to our thoughts and emotions, shaping how we communicate with others. This means that much of human interaction happens through an interplay of spoken words and non-verbal cues, which often reveal more than language alone. In essence, our body's movements and expressions are integral to how we interpret and share meaning in social situations.
