1. Hmm, it would be hard, since you would only find non-verbal communication between two people. So if you have isolated someone, and put them by themselves, they would have no need to perform this communication. However, if you have two or more people communicating, you will see them performing both verbal and non-verbal communication. The N-V gives additional meaning and message to the verbal communication. So again I would say that it is hard to separate it. I guess the only way to study N-V in isolation would be to set up some type of environment where the people could only communicate N-Vally. However, that would probably be more substitution (for verbal) than true NV. So I guess my overall answer is "no."
