II. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT

The term communication comes from the Latin word “communicare”,


which means to share, impart, participate, exchange, transmit or to make
common. As defined by Steven McCornack in his book titled “Interpersonal
Communication and You,“ communication is a process of sharing and
conveying messages or information from one person to another within and
across channels, contexts, media, and cultures. In order for you to better
understand communication, you have to take a closer look to its nature. As
you explore its nature, you will come across the following features:

 Communication is a process.

Communication is a process in which a source/speaker sends and


encodes a message through a channel to a destination/receiver. The
receiver decodes the message in order to give an appropriate feedback. This
process is dynamic or always changing as it occurs within a context which
constantly varies depending on so many factors like the people involved, the
place, the channels used and the situation. Communication also occurs
always with noise which affects the entire process in one way or another.
(This is further discussed in Lesson 3 of this module).

 Communication occurs between two or more people (the speaker and


the receiver).

Since communication is basically an exchange of ideas or information, it is


two-way – there is a source of the message and a destination. This can be in
a form of a face-to-face interaction, a phone conversation, a group
discussion, and even a letter correspondence.

 Communication can be expressed through written or spoken words
(verbal), actions (nonverbal), or both spoken words and nonverbal
actions at the same time.

Communication has two kinds: verbal and nonverbal.


Verbal communication is the kind of communication that uses symbols that
have universal meaning for all involved in the process. These symbols are
known as language used in both spoken and written communication.
Nonverbal communication, on the other hand, is the use of symbols other
than language. These symbols could be in the form of gestures, bodily
actions, facial expression, eye behavior and many more. Generally,
communication takes place with the combination of verbal and nonverbal
elements as one kind complements the other.
