Abstract
When we speak face-to-face with someone, we communicate on several different levels. Our face and body can communicate a different message from that of our voice. Thus the body language of a tight jaw and stiffly crossed arms belies a statement that one is relaxed. Similarly, voice inflection can conflict with spoken words. The impact of such incongruity mayb e intended irony or jest, or the impact may be confusion.
