Communication is the process of attempting to suggest information from a sender to a receiver with the use of a medium Communication requires that all parties have an area of communicative There are auditory means， such as speaking， singing and sometimes tone of voice， and nonverbal ， physical means， such as body language ， sign language ， paralanguage ， touch ， eye contact ， or the use of writing Communication is defined as a process by which we assign and convey meaning in an attempt to create shared This process requires a vast repertoire of skills in intrapersonal and interpersonal processing， listening， observing， speaking， questioning， analyzing， and Use of these processes is developmental and transfers to all areas of life: home， school， community， work， and It is through communication that collaboration and cooperation [1] Communication is the articulation of sending a message through different media， [2] whether it be verbal or nonverbal， so long as a being transmits a thought provoking idea， gesture ， action， Communication is a learned Most people are born with the physical ability to talk， but we must learn to speak well and communicate Speaking， listening， and our ability to understand verbal and nonverbal meanings are skills we develop in various We learn basic communication skills by observing other people and modeling our behaviors based on what we We also are taught some communication skills directly through education， and by practicing those skills and having them Communication as an academic discipline relates to all the ways we communicate， so it embraces a large body of study and The communication discipline includes both verbal and nonverbal A body of scholarship all about communication is presented and explained in textbooks， electronic publications， and academic In the journals， researchers report the results of studies that are the basis for an everexpanding understanding of how we all Communication happens at many levels (even for one single action)， in many different ways， and for most beings， as well as certain Several， if not all， fields of study dedicate a portion of attention to communication， so when speaking about communication it is very important to be sure about what aspects of communication one is speaking Definitions of communication range widely， some recognizing that animals can communicate with each other as well as human beings， and some are more narrow， only including human beings within the parameters of human symbolic Nonetheless， communication is usually described along a few major dimensions: Content (what type of things are communicated)， source， emisor， sender or encoder (by whom)， form (in which form)， channel (through which medium)， destination， receiver， target or decoder (to whom)， and the purpose or pragmatic Between parties， communication includes acts that confer knowledge and experiences， give advice and commands， and ask These acts may take many forms， in one of the various manners of The form depends on the abilities of the group Together， communication content and form make messages that are sent towards a destination The target can be oneself， another person or being， another entity (such as a corporation or group of beings) Communication can be seen as processes of information transmission governed by three levels of semiotic rules: Syntactic (formal properties of signs and symbols)， pragmatic (concerned with the relations between signs/expressions and their users) and semantic (study of relationships between signs and symbols and what they represent) Therefore， communication is social interaction where at least two interacting agents share a common set of signs and a common set of semiotic This commonly held rule in some sense ignores autocommunication ， including intrapersonal communication via diaries or self- In a simple model， information or content ( a message in natural language) is sent in some form (as spoken language) from an emisor/ sender/ encoder to a destination/ receiver/ decoder In a slightly more complex form a sender and a receiver are linked reciprocally A particular instance of communication is called a speech act In the presence of " communication noise " on the transmission channel (air， in this case)， reception and decoding of content may be faulty， and thus the speech act may not achieve the desired One problem with this encode-transmit-receive-decode model is that the processes of encoding and decoding imply that the sender and receiver each possess something that functions as a code book， and that these two code books are， at the very least， similar if not Although something like code books is implied by the model， they are nowhere represented in the model， which creates many conceptual Theories of coregulation describe communication as a creative and dynamic continuous process， rather than a discrete exchange of Canadian media scholar Harold Innis had the theory that people use different types of media to communicate and which one they choose to use will offer different possiblities for the shape and durablility of society (Wark， McKenzie 1997) His famous example of this is using ancient Egypt and looking at the ways they built themselves out of media with very different properties stone and Papyrus is what he called ' Space Binding' it made possible the trasnsmission of written orders across space， empires and enables the waging of distant military campaigns and colonial The other is stone and ' Time Binding' ， through the construction of temples and the pyramids can sustain their authority generation to generation， through this media they can change and shape communciation in their society (Wark， McKenzie 1997)
