Study Notes

Functions of Communication

  • Social Interaction: Inviting someone for coffee or attending events like weddings fosters relationships.
  • Information Dissemination: Teaching skills, discussing academic topics, or sharing policies informs others.
  • Emotional Expression: Verbal reactions such as "ouch!" or sharing disappointment convey feelings.
  • Control: Directing behaviors, like asking someone to stop crying, or outlining museum policies regulates responses.
  • Motivation: Encouraging peers to stop procrastinating or expressing aspirations serves to inspire action.

Verbal Communication

  • Involves using language (spoken or written) to convey ideas and information.
  • Requires a sender (speaker/writer) and a receiver (listener/reader) for effective communication.
  • Could include complex topics like politics, religion, and cultural taboos which might not communicate effectively due to emotional barriers or societal norms.
