ENG 12 2

A. Motivation
Answer the question below
1. Why do people communicate?

B. Transition/ Linking Statements:

Communication is a complex process. People do not just communicate because people


love to talk. Humans communicate for several reasons: regulation and control, social
interaction, motivation, information and emotional expression. Collectively these are
called the Functions of Communication.

KEY CONCEPT
Read me!

FUNCTIONS OF COMMUNICATION

REGULATION AND CONTROL

-if the speaker’s purpose is to control others by managing their behavior.


-as a function of communication means being able to use language, gestures, and emotions to
manage individual or group activities such as a parent telling a child not to misbehave or a
policeman directing pedestrians not to jaywalk but cross on the pedestrian lane.

-is also observed when a student asks his/her parents to stop teasing them about having a crush in
school. Siblings are also told not to look for that crush in school. Friends/classmates are under
strict orders not to talk about the crush at all.
SOCIAL INTERACTION

-the most familiar and the primary reason why people communicate.

-is the most obvious, the most often used, and the most popular. Just think of how many times
people interact with other people by talking to them, laughing with them, and just enjoying each
other’s company.
MOTIVATION

-this is when the speaker’s purpose is to persuade a person to change his/her opinion, attitude or
behavior.
-is the third Function of communication and is the most purposive. When people communicate,
they always have a purpose or reason. Why do people talk about this and not that? Why talk to
him and not to her? It is because there is a goal to be achieved, a motive that must be accomplished.
ENG 12 3

INFORMATION

-is used when the speaker wants to make others aware of a certain data, concepts, and processes-
knowledge that may be useful to them.

-Whether talking to friends or acquaintances, to convince or to motivate them, what is usually


necessary is to provide information. To illustrate, a Filipino scientist provide information to a low-
income community on how to light up their homes by using a bottle filled with water and a
teaspoon of bleach. The school dentist tells a kindergarten class how to brush one’s teeth properly.

EMOTIONAL EXPRESSION
-is used by a speaker for the purpose of moving another person to action.

-Appealing to the listener’s feelings is the function called Emotional Expression. It is used by a
speaker for the purpose of moving another person to act, to move in the particular direction, the
speaker wants the person to move.
