Occurence

Multimodal communication is a crucial component of social interactions that helps us to convey our ideas, thoughts, feelings, and opinions. We typically tend to use gestures, facial expressions, speech, etc to make ourselves understood. A frown, a wink, or a nod – we constantly use different means to communicate. It is used especially in teaching and creative expressing of own thoughts and feelings.
