Communication and Its Levels 
 
Most of the people are aware of one communication level, i.e., verbal communication, meaning the 
language itself in oral and written forms. Scientists have different views on the amount of living languages, 
but all of them think there exist more than 2,000 of them in the world. Mostly widely-spoken languages are 
English, Chinese, Spanish, Russian and Hindi. Language is an indivisible part of culture. It expresses the 
person’s thoughts and feelings. Communication occurs in all branches of linguistics including morphology, 
phonology, pragmatics, semantics, and syntactics.
Another level is paraverbal communication. It means accent, breaks during the talk, form of 
utterance, intonation, rhythm, sounds and syllables, stress, tone, and volume.
Nonverbal communication reveals itself at the third level. The most important factors in nonverbal 
communication are body language, face expression, kinesthetics, gestures, and clothes. According to the 
scientists’ research, paraverbal and nonverbal communications play even greater role in understanding of 
spoken language than verbal communication. In the written communication some scientists take into 
consideration frequency, place and mode of its transmission, and consider it to be the fourth level 
communication.
