Are Nonverbal communications also known as body language?

While body language is a significant part of nonverbal communication, it's not the whole story.

Here's why:

* Body language encompasses visual cues like facial expressions, gestures, posture, and eye contact.

* Nonverbal communication is a broader term that includes body language, but also encompasses:

* Vocalics: Tone of voice, pitch, volume, and pace.

* Proxemics: Use of space and distance.

* Haptics: Touch.

* Chronemics: Use of time.

* Appearance: Clothing, grooming, and accessories.

So, body language is a subset of nonverbal communication. Think of it like this: body language is the language of your body, while nonverbal communication is the language of your whole self, including your voice, space, and even your silence.
