Paralinguistic communication nonverbal messages (e.g., gestures, eye contact, facial expressions)
Metacommunication context of the message
Communication process interpretation affected by perceptions, linguistics, paralinguistics, context and feedback
Complementary exchange: in each exchange, each participant is, in turn, either a sender or a receiver.
