Introduction

Wether someone wants to or not, the activity or inactivity, speech or silent, it inform about the inssur's status. According to the communication code we distinguish between verbal, nonverbal and paraverbal communication. The nonverbal communication facilitates the verbal communinication, it's expressed through a variety of signs such as eye contact, facial expressions, gestures, postureand the distance between source and receiver. Paraverbal communication has as support the verbal communication. It customizes the utterance or writing of words by inflection, pacing, pitch, and tone of speech; by emphasis one places on particular words, phrases, or pauses while speaking. The gestural language is an element of nonverbal language which make the act of communication more efficient.
