While Analyzing What Is Spoken and Written Is Very Important

While analyzing what is spoken and written is very important for linguistic anthropologists, the way that people convey messages through gestures, facial expressions, and postures is equally crucial in understanding human communication.

Illustrate how body language is not universal but rather depends on cultural context, and use examples to show how emotional information is communicated.
