FUNCTIONS OF COMMUNICATION

 INFORMATIVE FUNCTION We want to inform other people, people

of what we know – facts, information, and knowledge. In school, most
of our speaking activities are directed to get and give information, to
develop or improve our knowledge and skills, and to imbibe good
values.

 INSTRUCTIVE FUNCTION Many times, older people, people who

hold important information, and those in the higher ranks
communicative to instruct people on what to do, when and where to do
them, and why and how to do them.

 PERSUASIVE FUNCTION You may find yourself wanting to influence

the opinion of others to believe and accept your stand or claim on an
issue or problem; so you think of strategies on how to persuade them
to change their perspective of opinion, and to decide accordingly.

 MOTIVATIONAL FUNCTION We communicate and direct people to

act and reach their objectives or goals in life. In the process, we use
positive language to make them realize that their actions lead them
to something beneficial for their being.

 AESTHETIC FUNCTION We use communication for pleasure

and enjoyment

 THERAPEUTIC FUNCTION OR EMOTIONAL EXPRESSION

Communication is curative and serves to maintain good health.

 REGULATION/CONTROL People use communication to maintain

control over other people’s attitudes and behavior. Your parents use it
to guide, inspire, or reprimand you when you seem to lose control over
your schedule, studies, and relationships, among others.
  SOCIAL INTERACTIONS Communication helps us start, maintain
regulate. We usually establish a positive climate at home, in
school, and in the workplace by greeting the people around us and
by exchanging pleasantries with them.
