Question

In ______ context communication, the emphasis on how intention or meaning is expressed through explicit verbal messages, whereas in _____ context communication the emphasis is on how intention or meaning is best conveyed through the embedded context and nonverbal channels.

Answer 1

Answer: In low context communication, the emphasis on how intention or meaning is expressed through explicit verbal messages, whereas in high context communication the emphasis is on how intention or meaning is best conveyed through the embedded context and nonverbal channels.

Explanation:

As explained above, in high-context communication, context is quite important. This kind of communication relies on nonverbal cues (body movements, gestures, face expressions, etc.). According to this communication type, the message cannot be interpreted without background information. Low-context communication, on the other hand, places emphasis on verbal communication. Information is communicated in an explicit and precise way.
