Nature and Types of Communication and The Communication Process Gisselle Jane M. Miralles, LPT People always say that “communication is the key.” Do  you agree with this or not? When everything is too hard and too challenging to you, when you are on the brink of giving up what do you think keeps you going? Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance | Angela Lee Duckworth  the way she speaks? PROCESS 3. While listening to her, QUESTIONS: were you able to 1. What information does understand her? What do the speaker provide? you think was the reason why? 2. How would you describe Because of language (the words, sentences, thoughts conveyed coherently, sounds produced), we are able to understand Angela Lee Duckworth’s point about the importance of grit. Animals, through the sounds that they produce, can also communicate, but only human beings are really capable of producing language. Linguists agree that a language can only be called a language if it has a system of rules (also known as grammar), a sound system (phonology), and a vocabulary (lexicon). These are the requirements for identifying a means of communication as a language. When people use language, they can understand each other because they belong to the same speech community; they share the same set of rules in the language system. While growing up, people acquire the languages used by those in the community. This is the process of language acquisition. The languages acquired while growing up are known as mother tongues (first  languages). People discover later on that other languages are needed for various reasons. These other languages are referred to as second languages. People learn these by studying formally in school or informally on their own. This is the process of language learning. What happens after a language comes into contact with another?  What is communication?  the process of expressing and exchanging information, thoughts, ideas, and feelings Simultaneous sharing and creating of meaning through human symbolic interaction Is an exchange of facts, ideas, opinions, or emotions by two or more persons. (Norman and Summer) Is the process of which information is transmitted between individuals or organizations so that an understanding response results.(Little)  Communication is a two-way process. (Koontz O’Donnell) Communication is a process which begins when you have a message that you want to deliver.(Tierney) Communication is systematic process.(Wood) came from the Latin word “comunicare,” meaning to share or to make common  the exchange of ideas from one person to another Its main aim is to express or send a thought or message to a single person, a small group, a big audience, or the mass. In return, the person, group, audience, or mass who received the message will interpret and understand its meaning. A response elicited from the receivers will complete the cycle of communication. Purposive Communication is an intentional communication that happens within the bounds of specific contexts. Nature of Communication Genina’s boss asked her to represent the company at a promotional event sponsored by one of their suppliers. She was very nervous because it would be her first time to attend an event alone. She reached the venue earlier than expected. She was already feeling uncomfortable because she couldn’t find anyone she knows. A few more minutes passed and she saw someone familiar across the room. It was Geannie, her college friend. Genina pulled a big smile on her face and she started waving at Geannie who also waved back at her. They were together until the event ended?  1. Going to an event alone is somewhat uncomfortable. Why? 2. The first person we would like to talk to is usually the closest person we know. Why? 3 theories that support objectives of spoken the fundamental communication 1.

Explain each answer.  Stages of Communication  Proce ss of STIMULI/US ACTION /FEEDBACK  UNDERSTANDING DECODING TRANSMISSION RECEPTION IDEATION ENCODING STAGES OF COMMUNICATION PROCESS 1. STIMULI/US - This is the triggering event of the communication process. 2. IDEATION - is the idea fed by stimulus formulated and organized to answer a need to communicate. 3.ENCODING -The ideas, which have been organized in the ideation stage, are put into codes to make transmission possible. 4. TRANSMISSION -The encoded message is sent through a chosen appropriate channel or medium. STAGES OF COMMUNICATION PROCESS 5. RECEPTION -The message, which has been sent through a medium selected by the sender, reaches the receiver. 6. DECODING -The codes or symbols used to transmit messages are converted into ideas or mental images to be interpreted by the receiver. 7.UNDERSTANDING - The message, which has been transformed into thought or mental images, having been interpreted now becomes clear to the receiver. 8.ACTION -The receiver responds to the message received by sending feedback. Types of Communication According to Mode  1. Verbal Communication 2. Non-Verbal Communication It is comprised of sounds, words, and language which all have a direct  relationship with culture. Refers to those actions and attributes that have socially shared meaning.  Functions of Verbal Communication Functions of Verbal Communication 1. Verbal communication helps us think. 2. Verbal communication helps us shape our attitude about our world. 3. Verbal communication helps us organize complex ideas and experiences into meaningful categories. 4. Verbal communication helps us define reality. Functions of Verbal Communication 1.Verbal Communication helps us think. Humans have the ability to reason and communicate. Humans organize their thoughts through  language. Through language, humans are able to verbalize their thoughts and inner feelings. Functions of Verbal Communication 2. Verbal communication helps us shape our attitude about our world. Under the Sapir-Whor hypothesis, language determines thought. People who speak different languages think differently. When you label, describe, or evaluate events in your life, you use the  symbols of the language you speak. Functions of Verbal Communication 3. Verbal communication helps us organize complex ideas and experiences into meaningful categories. Humans organize seemingly random events into understandable categories to make sense of their experiences. They learn to categorize people according to how they perceive their social relationships such as friends, acquaintances, colleagues, etc.  Functions of Non-Verbal Communication 1. Non-verbal communication is used to regulate verbal communication. Gestures, facial expressions and other bodily movements reinforce or contradict verbal communication. Non-verbal communication is also used to influence others and regulate conversational flow. Functions of Non-Verbal Communication 2.Non-verbal communication is used to duplicate verbal communication. Non-verbal cues are used to most people within a particular cultural group. These may include a head-nod or head-shake to duplicate the verbal messages of yes or no. Functions of Non-Verbal Communication 3. Non-verbal communication is used to complement verbal communication. Non-verbal communication such as hugging, hand shaking, etc. can complement what a person is saying. Types of Communication According to Context 1. Intrapersonal Communication 2. Interpersonal Communication 3. Extended Communication 4. Organizational Communication 5. Intercultural Communication - Communication between or among people having different linguistic, religious, ethnic, social, and professional backgrounds. Even gender difference affects communication. Intercultural Communication Types of Communication  According to Purpose and Style 1. Formal Communication 2.
