How is body language a type of non-verbal communication?

In: Speech Writing [Edit categories]

Answer:

The term 'non-verbal' means 'without speaking' or 'without words.' When we nod our heads 'yes' or shake our heads 'no,' we are communicating through body language (kinemics) without saying a word. So it's non-verbal, but it is still communication.
