Grammar consists of morphology and syntax . If two speakers have different comfortable interaction distances, a ballet of shifting positions usually occurs until one of the individuals is backed into a corner and feels threatened by what may be perceived as hostile or sexual overtures. As a result, the verbal message may not be listened to or understood as it was intended. Interaction distance is an aspect of proxemics . This part of paralanguage is also known as body language.
Words can be one or more morphemes.
These include variations in tone and character of voice along with such non-verbal forms of communication as kinesics , proxemics , clothing, and makeup. In English, for example, the words pan and can have different meaning due to the fact that the initial sound, or phoneme, is different. Phonemes do not have meaning by themselves. The sounds represented by the p and c in the words above are meaningless alone but they can change the meaning of words. Pidgins combine the vocabulary and grammar of the different languages.
