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.

- Motivation: Encouraging peers to stop procrastinating or expressing aspirations serves to inspire action.
Verbal Communication
