Terminological inaccuracy of the terms verbal communication and non-verbal communication in scientific literature

The article examines the terms verbal communication and non-verbal communication from the standpoint of the inconsistency of their terminological designation, the concepts understood by them in the scientific literature. The characterization of the situation, noted by Yakovlev, and expressed as the absence of a general theoretical paradigm that unites a huge number of different theories of communication that have many concepts and levels in their approaches and components, was also supported by Karl Rosengren, “the communication area looks as if it is divided into several isolated frog ponds There is no friendly croaking between them, very little productive communication, few cases of successful cross fertilization [6, p2.9]. Rosengren, KE From field to frog ponds. Journal of communication. 1993. 43 (3).
