Communication Is An Essential Tool For Human Interactions

Communication is one of the main things humans do in their day to day activities. Scholars define communication as an act of exchanging information between one another and understanding the meaning of it (Semenescu, 2016). The four mains types of communication are written, verbal, non-verbal and visual. Humans communicate to establish relationship, build foundation for planning, socializing in general and motivating each other. Communication can vary in different settings. For example in personal context, communication style used is more relaxed, which means that informal language is used. However, in a professional context, communication style used in more focused on workplace. Therefore, the language used is more formal so as to show respect

In this paper, I will inform of three concepts from the textbook Communication Matters, Second Edition by Kory Floyd that was most beneficial to my learning throughout the course of Speech 1700. The three concepts I selected to discuss of are affect displays, belief, and scripted speech. In addition, I will explain each concept that I selected by providing a necessary theoretical background and general examples. Moreover, I will discuss of each concepts and its benefits to my learning of communication. Furthermore, I will discuss of each concept 's importance in my daily communications and my application usage in personal and professional settings.

Furthermore, the form of conversing in text messaging is often used in a person’s everyday lives. As it states in the essay, “And as more people use the lingo for text messaging, Sheidlower said, it is more likely to spill into speech or writing” (Linguists Mixed on Effects of Text Messaging). The method of communicating in cell phones reflects a person’s approach in their normal lives.

Did you know 80% of communication is through body language? After logging the majority of verbal communication of my everyday life, I was astounded by the significant amount of activity. If 20% communicates verbally, then it blows my mind to ponder the amount of non-verbal activity we use. This essay will cover how I communicate orally for 48 hours. First I will achieve the purpose of this essay, which is to interpret the analysis of my communication patterns. Then, I will embellish on which type of communication patterns I prefer the least and most. Next, I will relate the connection between location and the type of communication I use. Lastly, I will explain how I relate to Miriam-Webster Dictionary’s definition of communication.

Two important aspects of this are the source and the receiver, for example the source could be a person complimenting someone while the person being complimented would be the receiver of the comment.

Although not typically acknowledged, discourse markers are prevalent in daily and spontaneous conversation. Meaningless fillers are placed in conversations typically as filler words. These words serve "to either act as an unconscious sign of speech disfluency or serve as a signal sent by speakers to convey a certain message.” (Laserna et al 2014 329). In attempting to contribute productively to the conversation, time may be needed to effectively articulate their thoughts to the listener. Laserna et al. (2014) investigated the use of various filler words and its correlation to gender and age (see Table 2). Their results found that um and uh was used more frequently in females and the younger participants (Laserna et al 2014 333). I will be using examples that are related to a conversation that my partner and I had discussed about our thoughts on Donald Trump. Our observers of our conversation had noticed that we used a large amount of words such as um, uhm, yea, mmhm etc.

Conversation analysis is “the systematic analysis of the talk produced in everyday situations of human interaction.” (Hutchby and Wooffitt, 2008, pg. 11). However, as pointed out by Griffiths et al, conversation analysts “must not come to the the data with pre-defined idea’s about what goes on”, thus the basis of this analysis must remain context free with only ambiguous assumptions about the context.

Participants use speech for various purposes between participants: to socialize, to communicate thoughts, opinions or emotions, to share thoughts, feelings, emotions, to offer to do things for others, to ask other to do things, to congratulate, to insult, to quarrel etc. Therefore, the notion of language use makes language a tool – Bollinger
