    There are several advantages and disadvantages to speech communication. Key advantages include it being easy to understand if delivered at the audience's level, time saving compared to written communication, and allowing for the development of good relations between speaker and audience. However, disadvantages include the potential for inaccuracy if the speaker does not understand the audience's needs, increased complexity with large audiences, and lack of record keeping unless recorded. Direct speech also does not allow for secrecy and can lead to conflicts.

    ADVANTAGES OF SPEECH

    There are some advantages of good speech. They are given below:

    Easy to understand: If the speaker delivers his or her speech on the basis of the audienc0e
    level, it becomes easy understanding. So, the main advantages of speech are
    understandable.

    Time saving: Direct speech between the speaker and the listener saves time to
    communicate information.

    Good relation: Speech can help to develop the relation between the speaker and the
    audiences. It is possible to establish friendly relation among the parties concern through
    direct speech.

    Cost saving: Direct speech saves money, because it does not require any device or writing
    instruments like pen, paper, computer, telephone etc.

    Suitability: It is very suitable to communicate with both illiterate and literate people. But
    written communication is suitable only for literate people.

    Quick means: Speech is a quick mean of communication. Many formalities are to be


    needed for written or other communications. But it does not take any formality.

    Direct feedback: There is a quick and direct feedback of oral communication, because the
    audience can interact directly to the speaker.

    Mass communication: Direct speech is suitable for mass communication. The speaker can
    communicate with many people at a time through speech.

    DISADVANTAGE OF SPEECH

    There are some limitations and disadvantages of speech. These limitations are stated below:

    Inaccuracy: The main disadvantages of speech or inaccuracy. If the speaker fails to


    understand the need of the audiences, speech becomes worthless.

    Complexity: This form of communication increases the complexity in the communication


    channel. If the number of audience is large, it is difficult to understand the meaning of the
    speech.

    Delay: It is a lengthy process to take decision making because it takes more times for
    personal discussions to each other. If the audiences do not understand the meaning of the
    speech it takes more time to take a final decision.

    Irrelevancy: Sometimes the speaker delivers an irrelevant speech which makes the audience
    displeasure or disgust.
    No record: Usually no records are kept in this form of communication. So speech cannot be
    sued as legal document unless it is taped.

    Lack of secrecy: In this form of communication, the important and secret information may
    be disclosed.

    Conflict: Speech cannot be kept in mind for long. So it can create many conflicts among the
    parties concerned.

    Expensive: Sometimes the organization pays the T.A. And D. A. To the audiences. So it is also
    expensive.

    I have made a list of possible advantages and disadvantages of bodylanguage in communication.

    Advantages

     Simple gestures can mean a lot, and they are a good way to convey emotions without much
    effort. For example if you are angry you cross your arms, or if you are happy you can let your
    arms free.
     Body language can be a positive attribute in the business world and you can use hand
    movements to aid explanations and allow your meaning to be clear.
     In, for example, and interview setting, your body language can show a lot about you. If you sit
    up straight with a smile you will appear more confident to potential employees.

    Disadvantages

     Body language can give you away and sometimes you will not be able to help it. If you don't
    know how to control your body language you can be giving off negative signals.
     What you do with your body may show that you are lying.
     In an interview setting if you don't make eye contact with the employee and move around a lot,
    this can lead to not getting the job.

    Body language is a powerful communication strategy, so you need to be careful how you use it.
    ADVANTAGES OF NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION:

    1. Complementary: Non-verbal cues complement a verbal message by adding to its


    meaning. You can pat someone you offended at the back as you say sorry to him or
    her.
    2. Easy presentation: Information can be easily presented in non-verbal communication
    through using visual, audio-visual and silent means of non-verbal communication.
    3. Substituting: Non-verbal message may substitute for the verbal message especially if it is
    blocked by noise, interruption, long distance etc. for example; gestures-finger to lips to
    indicate need for quite, facial expressions- a nod instead of a yes.
    4. Accenting: Often used to accent a verbal message. Verbal tone indicates the actual
    meaning of the specific words.
    5. Repeat: Used to repeat the verbal message (e.g. point in a direction while stating
    directions.)
    6. Help to illiterate people: This type of communication use gestures, facial expressions,
    eye contact, proximity, touching etc. and without using any spoken or written word. So,
    it is very much helpful for illiterate people.
    7. Help to handicapped people: Non-verbal cues of communication greatly help in
    handicapped people especially to deaf people. Deaf people exchange message
    through the movements of hands, fingers, eyeball etc.
    8. Attractive presentation: Non-verbal communication is based on visual, picture, graph,
    sign etc. that can be seen very much attractive.
    9. Reducing wastage of time: The message of non-verbal communication reached the
    receiver very fast. For this reason it reduces the wastage of valuable time of the
    communicator.
    10. Quick expression of message: Non-verbal cues of communication like sign and symbol
    can also communicate some messages very quickly than written or oral messages.

    DISADVANTAGES OR LIMITATIONS OF NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION:

    Despite of advantages of non-verbal communication, it is not free from its limitations or


    disadvantages which are:

    1. Vague and imprecise: Non-verbal communication is quite vague and imprecise. Since
    in this communication, there is no use of words or language which expresses clear
    meaning to the receiver. No dictionary can accurately classify them. Their meaning
    varies not only by culture and context but by the degree of intention.
    2. Continuous: It is possible to stop talking in verbal communication, but it is generally not
    possible to stop nonverbal cues. Also, spoken language has a structure that makes it
    easier to tell when a subject has changed, for instance, or to analyze its grammar.
    Nonverbal does not lend itself to this kind of analysis.
    3. Multi-channel: while watching someone’s eyes, you may miss something significant in a
    hand gesture. Everything is happening at once and therefore it may be confusing to try
    to keep up with everything. Most of us simply do not do so, at least not consciously.
    4. Culture-bound: Non-verbal communication is learnt in childhood, passed on to you by
    your parents and others with whom you associate. A few other gestures seem to be
    universal. Evidence suggests that humans of all cultures smile when happy and frown
    when unhappy. However, most nonverbal symbols seem to be even further
    disconnected from any “essential meaning” than verbal symbols. Gestures seen as
    positive in one culture (Like the thumbs-up gesture in the USA) may be seen as obscene
    in another culture.
    5. Long conversations are not possible: In non-verbal communication, long conversation
    and necessary explanations are not possible. No party can discuss the particular issues
    of the messages.
    6. Difficult to understand: Difficult to understand and requires a lot of repetitions in non-
    verbal communication. Since it uses gestures, facial expressions eye contact, touch etc.
    for communicating with others which may not be understandable for the simple and
    foolish people.
    7. Not everybody prefers: Everybody does not prefer to communicate through non-verbal
    communication with others. Sometimes it cannot create an impression upon people or
    listeners. It is less influential and cannot be used everywhere. It is cannot be used as a
    public tool for communication.
    8. Lack of formality: Non-verbal communication does not follow any rules, formality or
    structure like other communication. Most of the cases people unconsciously and
    habitually engaged in non-verbal communication by moving the various parts of the
    body.
    9. Costly: In some cases non-verbal communication involves huge cost. For example,
    neon sign, power point presentation, cinema etc are very much costly compared to
    others form of communication.
    10. Distortion of information: Since it uses gestures, facial expressions, eye contact, touch,
    sign, sound, paralanguage etc. for communicating with others, there is a great
    possibility in distortion of information in non-verbal communication.
