I agree with what Miss Vivian Ta said in the video, that non-verbal behaviors are indeed important, but what we should focus more on is our verbal behaviors, especially now that we are in the 21st century where we all tend to communicate through technology and internet. When we communicate, our main goal is to be understood and to understand our counterpart, in short, to have a common ground understanding with the other people that we are communicating with. We always pay attention to our non-verbal behaviors thinking that they are the key to understanding each other, but non-verbal behaviors are responsible more on creating an emotional connection and relationship between communicators, and not understanding. Also, it was proven on the research conducted by Ta and her team, that verbal behavior is the only and most important factor that contributes to the establishment of common ground understanding between communicators. In previous discussions, we have discussed the things that globalization has brought to us, and one of those is the interconnectedness between nations, changes in the communications as it was affected by the technology and internet. Nowadays, there are endless possibilities when it comes to communication with the use of internet, we can communicate no matter how far or we are of different time zones, we can communicate through texts, that is why verbal behaviors are more important.
I have been saying this for years, pre this Tedtalk. It is a family saying that has been passed down from my great-grandparents, my grandmother would say it to me, and it has become a lifelong motto of mine. Thank you for the reminder

Vivian talks about the importance of Communication in our globalization this two types of communication is the verbal and nonverbal she talks about the differences of the two which is verbal has ability to talk to two or more person while the non verbal communication is able to talk using sign languages, body language expressions or reactions of people but Vivian is more focused about the importance and benefits of verbal communication because this will understand what the people saying and explain what they are doing but non verbal has also importance because this helps people create communication by deaf or mute persons they are making conversation by the guestures.
It is very informative and awakening of the notion about verbal and non verbal communication. They are both inportant and plays significant role in our daily lives. Thanks for these, it helps me aware more that the society we belong is already changing little by little. Communication either verbal or non verbal- they are useful to us people to have a bettee understanding and relationship.
Thanks Vivian. An interesting talk from 2016, which when watched in 2018 surfaced the question of how the emergence of emoticons (emotional expressions in non-verbal format) and word-enhanced graphics upon social media platforms like Instagram influence the theory of what vs how. Perhaps there is a "middle way" emerging via the internet which combines both "how" and "what".
Everything she said might be true, but I got bored listening. Verbal communication is essential to understanding, but you won't be listened to if you don't have the right non-verbal skills...
It is actually true. This is a required learning material in our Purposive Communication subject, and yet she is boring me to death. Her non-verbal skills are... very... controlled. Like, she's watching how she visually interpret her non-verbal communication ability. It becomes disengaging.
She seems really nervous. Also, I"m surprised she did not talk about technical communication like Discussion Boards, or emails. In those situations, you may not have things like Body Language or Tone, but you do have the ability to set a "tone" or intent through something like a smiley face:)
You clearly mentioned « gestures, gazes and smiles » as examples of nonverbal behaviors that to you are not or were not important in understanding one another at least in the act(s) of communication you studied but allow me to disagree and say that you failed to mention (Consider?) one major and at times the most decisive nonverbal cue, which is voice/pitch/tone..how would I understand someone I am talking to (not texting or sending an email to) fully and clearly and be able to respond appropriately if for instance I can’t hear them well (volume) or if they said they were happy and excited with a very dull intonation or that they were happy to meet me (you said you examined a first encounter of strangers) while their intonation was rather flat?? What if I responded with a nod and a smile because I received conflicting messages (happiness:verbally, and rather « not really »: nonverbally)??. All along, you compared what is incomparable. Oral and written communication are two separate genres I like to think..and have to be treated for being so. I would go as far as to say that even in written communication it’s not just what you say as much as it is how you say it that matters; lay out and clarity of ideas, their cohesion and coherence would impact if not actually determine understanding.
It's good to hear the reminder and inspire me to led this communications well and better I had get many ways to prove may language thank you ma'am vivian
Although non-verbal communication is vital in understanding way beyond mere words, with today’s use of technology (texts, email, instagram) the words we use are vital in the initial communication process. Your verbal & writing skills must be sharp!
"We should be focusing more on what we say, rather than on how we say". I must agree with that! Of course, all that non-verbal communication in body language and voice also do have their effects on listeners, in the end it's down to the meaning of our words and the sense they make. So, in the case with political rhetoric - it's up to the common people to be more rational and pay closer attention to words, rather than being fired up by more primitive, emotional engagement of charisma. ;-)
I can relate to her nervousness, her strained voice, and her stutters and filler words, so I personally understand why she thinks we need to focus on speech content vs. delivery. However ... I'm also actively aware that delivery is crucial and I wouldn't enforce changing others' speech patterns. How is speech in other languages? Is it all about word content, or is it important to consider tone of voice, relatability (personableness), body language, posture, gestures, facial expressions, pauses, etc.? Even though I speak like the speaker currently, I would say all of these are very important. We communicate these things via text-only communication as well. Actions. Pauses. Extra spacing. Punctuation. Italics. etc., etc. I'd like to know where the speaker (Vivian P. Ta) currently stands on this topic.
I feel like the types of people who participated in the LSS project were the "outgoing/extroverted" ones who are always ready to talk to people (given the subject of recording conversations on first-meetings.) Because I feel like if the hefty sum of that research is participatied "introverted" people, gestures and other nonverbal indicators would definitely change the conclusion of this subject matter.
Apologies. I always thought that nonverbal communication with me standing there with my arms crossed or roll my eyes when someone was speaking. I never considered how I say something was considered nonverbal communication. If I am yelling, I am communicating that I am frustrated or angry. Texting is a bad way to communicate. Communication most always get lost in translation. Some people are not going to text everything out.
our verbals - what we say, is not what we are reading on the Internet or READING in our texts; the way we write cannot be compared to the way we speak. This is a ridiculous study!
I don't know what you are proposing. we human communicated with nonverbal before we were able to invent language. all the species in the world communicate through nonverbal. with verbal we can literally say anything we like. but with nonverbal we can't say lie. we humans can give 10 thousand different facial expression. with proper knowledge of body language and a intuitive mind you can actually know the innermost emotion of a person about you. so why isn't nonverbal important?
Honestly, this lady was so bad at public speaking that it was ironic she's giving this speech. She "said" all the right words but ALL of her other communication was poor. Again, the irony.
Unfortunately I have to stop listening, I was more focused on the speaker non verbal language then on her words...So I didnt get anything other than the speaker is a likely a bit nervous..
It's funny that she gives a presentation about communication and I can't stand her voice. It's like the pitch is too high at times... there might be something wrong with the microphone. Anyway I stopped after three minutes and couldn't focus on what she was saying.
True. English is not my first language. I was just trying to say that her voice is very irritating, to me. For a moment I thought she's doing it on purpose.
me too but I've realized there's a subtitle on it that's why I opened it so that the message she was trying to convey will be understood and I will be doing 3 pages of reaction paper. asf

When a PhD person in Communication makes you want to sleep, there's something seriously wrong about their communication.
true lmao
Shout out sa manonood nito dahil sa prpcom nila goodluck
HAHAAHAHHAHHAHHAH
She didn't touch on tone of voice. Tone is part of verbal behaviour but it always falls into "how you say it." I feel like she purposely evaded that.
7 % words 38% is tonality 55 % is the body
She seems really nervous. Also, I"m surprised she did not talk about technical communication like Discussion Boards, or emails. In those situations, you may not have things like Body Language or Tone, but you do have the ability to set a "tone" or intent through something like a smiley face:)

I cant hear her well the audio is bad my friends
Bakit po paulit- ulit yang mga sinasabi mo😢 Haystss... mas lalong hindi ko masasagutan itong PRPCOM ko 😩 🤙🤙🤙
too many people say it's all about emotions when it comes to communication.
I say the listeners are too emotionally oriented.
