What are verbal and non-verbal symbols?

In: Ceremonial Speech [Edit categories]

Answer:

Verbal symbols are words, sentences, sounds, or other utterances that are said aloud in order to convey some meaning. Non-verbal symbols are signs or gestures that are not spoken but still try to convey meaning. For instance, both the shouted word "Tiger!" and a terrified scream are verbal symbols that one is about to be attacked by a tiger; the written word 'Tiger!', or the same word spelled out in sign language, or even just grabbing someone by the shoulder and pointing at the tiger in the corner are all non-verbal symbols (well, technically, the last is called a gesture, since the meaning conveyed is in the object pointed at, not in the pointing, but you get the idea.)
