COMMUNICATION

COMMUNICATION MAY THEN BE CLASSIFIED ACCORDING TO:

• Mode

• context

• purpose & style

• A message can be conveyed via these types: verbal – non-verbal and visual. Though communication is often thought of as verbal, the non-verbal mode is equally important as it enhances one’s message.

MODE

• uses spoken or written words or written words to convey a message, while Non-verbal

VERBAL COMMUNICATION

• uses body language, facial expressions, and other cues to communicate without words.

NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION

• Effective communication calls for the blending of these two types. One cannot be separated from the other.

VERBAL AND NON-VERBAL

on the other hand, is the type of communication that uses visuals to convey information and/or messages. Some examples are signs, symbols, imagery, maps, graphs, charts, diagrams, pictograms, photos, illustrations, drawings and even various forms of electronic communication.

VISUAL COMMUNICATION

• In this sub-section, context in communication is referred to as a composite of people interacting with each other. Communication may also be classified according to context: (1) intrapersonal, (2) interpersonal, (3) extended, (4) organizational and (5) intercultural.

CONTEXT

• The Latin prefix intra – means within or inside. Intrapersonal communication then means talking to oneself. Some label is as self or inner talk, inner monologue, or inner dialogue. Psychologists call it with other names such as self-verbalization or self-statement.

INTRAPERSONAL COMMUNICATION

• As opposed to intra, the Latin prefix inter – means between, among and together. An interactive exchange takes place as interpersonal communication takes place. However, as it occurs, a transaction does not necessarily take place since it can only be a simple interaction such as greetings, getting to know a person, or ordinary conversations that happen between or among the inter-actors. This may occur in dyads or small groups, also known as a group communication.

INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION

• This involves the use of electronic media. Unlike before when it only called for the use of television and radio, nowadays, the description of extended communication may be expanded as to include tele, audio, or phone conferencing; video conferencing, Skype calls; and other technological means.

EXTENDED COMMUNICATION

• For an organization to be successful, a system of communication should be put in place. A set of rules or standards for communication protocol should be made clear so that interaction patterns are established. On the part of the individual, you should be equipped with the needed oral and written communication skills that the organization expects you to possess.
