The major three components of oral communication are: Verbal Communication: This component involves the use of spoken words to convey a message. It includes the words we choose, the tone of voice we use, and the way we structure our sentences and phrases. Verbal communication also encompasses the use of language, grammar, and vocabulary. Nonverbal Communication: This component includes all the elements of communication that are not spoken or written, such as body language, facial expressions, gestures, and eye contact. Nonverbal communication can convey emotions, attitudes, and intentions, and can either enhance or detract from the verbal message. Paralinguistics: This component involves the use of vocal elements to enhance or modify the meaning of words. It includes elements such as pitch, tone, inflection, volume, and speed of speech. Paralinguistic cues can convey a range of emotions, from enthusiasm to boredom, and can help to emphasise or clarify the meaning of the verbal message. Together, these three components of oral communication work together to create a comprehensive and effective message that can be understood and interpreted by the audience.
