Verbal communication is speaking, rather than writing or gesturing. Casual gestures, rather than sign languages, are clearly non-verbal, as are such aspects of "communication" as body language. But some people have argued that writing is, after all "verbal" in that it uses words. So is sign language (American Sign Language and Signed English are the major forms in the U.S.A.). Those who point out that writing is just as "verbal" as is speaking argue that to avoid ambiguity, speaking should be called "oral" communication, so that "verbal" can be used for any means of communicating with language. Still, we have the established references to "verbal" agreements and contracts and to "verbal" arguments, all of which which are simply not in writing, but are spoken. So it looks as though the term ""verbal" communication, meaning speech, is solidly entrenched.
