INTRODUCTION TO COMMUNICATION

The English word ‗communication‘is derived from the Latin noun ‗Communis‘ and the Latin verb ‗Communicare‘ that means ‗to make common. to transmit, to impart.‘ Communication is a two way process. It is a natural activity of all human beings to convey opinions, information, ideas, feelings, emotions to others by words spoken or written.


Communication has been defined by many theorists:

•    According  to  W.H.Newman,  ―Communication  is  an  exchange  of  facts,  ideas, opinions or emotions by two or more persons.

•    Allen Louis says "Communication is the sum of all the things one person does when he wants to create an understanding in the mind of another. It involves a systematic and continuous process.

•    To   quote   Norman   B.   Sigband,   ―Communication   is   the   transmission   and reception of ideas, feelings and attitudes both verbally and non-verbally… In general, we could define communication as a two-way process that results in a shared meaning or common understanding between the sender and the receiver.
