Communicator style refers to an individual's use of verbal and nonverbal communicative behaviors that signals the extent to which a message should be interpreted seriously or lightly, taken literally or figuratively, viewed as entertaining or enlightening, or considered to be confirming or disconfirming. Heavily influenced by theoretical work completed in the fields of interpersonal communication and psychology, Robert Norton proposed that communicator style focuses on the relational component of a message by centering on how an individual communicates any given message rather than what an individual communicates in the message.
