communication?
• What are the nature,
function and process of
communication?
• ‘Communication' is derived
from the Latin word 'communis'
which means 'to transmit', 'to
impart', 'to exchange', 'to
share', or 'to convey'.
• It is a process of sharing and
conveying messages or information
from one person to another within and
across channels, context, media, and
cultures (McCornack, 2014).

- a TWO way process.
2.Communication

more people.
3.Communication can be
expressed through written or
spoken words, actions
(nonverbal), or both spoken
words and nonverbal actions
at the same time.
• Records show that people have used
various communication techniques
such as the use of symbols, gestures,
sounds, drawings, and sign
languages (Littlejohn, 2002 as cited in
Amudavalli, n.d.). Words and
languages developed much later in
human history.

PROCESS
of
COMMUNICATION
• communication begins when the speaker
or source of communication responds to
a stimulus and decides to encode or
transmit it in the form of a message (or a
“code”) through a particular channel or
means of communication.
• The receiver decodes or interprets
the message sent and responds
accordingly based on his
interpretation of the message. This
response comes in the form of a
feedback sent to the original source
of communication (sender).
• As the communication transaction
continues, the sender and receiver may
exchange roles until understanding is
achieved. Barriers to communication
sometimes block the transmission of the
message thereby creating
misunderstanding.
