Definition of Speech Communication

“Speech communication is the process of


sharing meaning through audible and visual
codes such as voice, facial expression,
gestures, movement, posture, and other
similar methods.” — (Verderber)

Speech Communication As A
Process
As a process, communication exists in time and
changes constantly. Hence, communication is still
difficult to study; to study it well, you must closely
observe the many things happening all at the
same time and over a period of time (Wahlstrom
10).

Nature of Speech Communication


Process
Communication involves an interaction between or among people
and merely looking at the action of one of the communicators will
not be enough to show its meaning and neither will an
examination of all the words uttered during the interchanges.
Messages are being sent and reacted to almost instantaneously
by both communicators. Some of the messages are verbal; others
are nonverbal, involving such things as gestures and facial
expressions. Thoughts are also parts of this process; even while
speaking communicators monitor each other's reactions and
experience a variety of feelings. They react immediately to each
other and these reactions shape the next part of the exchange.

Participants

These are the individuals engaged in the


communication process. Both participants act as
senders and receivers, continually exchanging
roles. As senders, they transform thoughts and
emotions into verbal and nonverbal messages. As
receivers, they interpret and respond to the
messages they receive.
Context
The conditions surrounding the
communication, consisting of:

Physical Milieu: The Social Milieu: The nature


environment where of the relationship between
communication takes place communicators (e.g.,
(e.g., the room’s temperature, friends, family, colleagues)
lighting, time of day, and influences the tone,
seating arrangements). formality, and content of
messages.

Messages
These are the ideas, thoughts, or feelings
communicated. They are encoded into verbal symbols
(words) or nonverbal behaviors (gestures, facial
expressions). Messages exist in the mind of the
communicator and must be carefully encoded to be
understood by the receiver. An effective
communicator continuously adjusts their message
based on feedback.
10

Channels
•Channels refer to the pathways through which messages
are transmitted. These include:
•Visual Channels: Involves light waves that carry
nonverbal cues such as facial expressions, gestures, and
movements.
•Auditory Channels: Involves sound waves that carry
verbal symbols, such as spoken words and vocal cues
(e.g., tone, pitch, and volume).
11

Noise
•Interference that distorts the clarity of the message, making
communication challenging:
•External Noise: Environmental distractions (e.g., loud
sounds, crowded space, visual disturbances) that divert
attention.
•Internal Noise: Distractions within the communicators, such
as physiological factors (e.g., illness, fatigue) or psychological
issues (e.g., stress, preoccupations).
•Semantic Noise: Misinterpretations due to language
barriers, unfamiliar terms, or culturally sensitive expressions.
12

Feedback

•The verbal or nonverbal responses provided by


the receiver, which help the sender determine if
their message was understood. Feedback can be
immediate (e.g., nodding or frowning) or delayed
(e.g., replying after a pause), and it plays a
crucial role in ensuring effective communication.
