This document discusses the nature and importance of speech, the relationship between speech, language, and communication, and the elements and types of communication. It defines communication as a two-way process of transmitting messages between people that influences behavior. Language is the medium through which messages are conveyed, while speech is the verbal means of communicating meaning. Speech involves shaping sounds and breath into words using speech organs. The document also outlines the stages of the communication process from the triggering event to the receiver's response.
5. Communication is the dual or two-way process of
transmitting messages from one person to another.
It is the symbolic interaction between two or more
people that influences each other’s behavior.
Speech and language are only a portion of the larger
process of communication.
6. Language is the medium or vehicle through which
messages are sent and received while speech is
one of its modes. It is the verbal means of
communicating or conveying meaning.
7. Speech is the process of shaping into words the sound of
the voice and the energy of the breath by means of speech
organs.Thus, these terms are not identical but under the
same process.
9. Verbal or linguistic aspect- makes use of
words; may be oral or written, formal or
informal
10. Nonverbal or extralinguistic- does not make use of
words but may enhance or change the linguistic
code.
11. Elements of Nonverbal
Communication
Nonlinguistic elements- devices used in conveying
messages without entirely relying on speech or language.
Paralinguistic elements- include the following attributes of
voice that accompany the words we say: vocal quality,
pitch, tempo, volume, and juncture. Our voice is capable
of various dimensions making it possible to identify one
person from another.
Metalinguistic element-takes place in the mind of
communicators – their awareness of the component units
of language like sound, words, phrases and sentences.
12. Nonlinguistic elements
KINESICS – language of the body
PROXEMICS – language of space
CHRONEMICS – language of time
HAPTICS – language of touch
OLFATICS – language of smell
ARTEFACTUAL – language of object and physical
appearance
13. Types and Levels of
Communication
Intrapersonal- communication with oneself. It
involves thinking, remembering and feeling
14. interpersonal
Interpersonal- communication among a relatively small
number of people. Much of our communication takes place
at this level.
Dyadic Communication – communication
between two individuals
Triadic Communication
– communication
participated in by three
individuals
Small Group Communication –
communication of more than three
individuals
15. masscomm
Mass communication- this covers other forms of public
communication. These are printed form, radio, television,
and movies.The tools/materials used are called mass
media.
16. public communication
Public communication- this involves communication
between one and several other people.This is the large
group type of communication. A public speech is an
example. Primarily, it is a monologue one engages in
rather than a dialog.
18. Stages of Communication Process
Stimulus/stimuli- triggering event of the communication
process
Ideation- an idea or several ideas are formulated and
organized to answer a need to communicate
Encoding- the ideas, which have been organized in the
ideation stage, are put into code to make transmission
possible.To represent these ideas, symbols in the form of
sounds or words are made use of.
19. Stages of Communication Process
Transmission- the encoded message is sent through a chosen
appropriate channel or medium
Reception- the message reaches the receiver
Decoding- the codes or symbols used to transmit messages are
converted into ideas or mental images to be interpreted by the
receiver
Understanding- the message, which has been transformed into
thought or mental images, having been interpreted now
becomes clear to the receiver. If he/she does not understand,
miscommunication sets in.
Action- the receiver responds to the message received by
sending feedback
