    People communicate for several reasons, which are called the functions of communication. These include regulation/control, which involves using language to manage activities and behaviors; social interaction, which allows people to interact and enjoy each other's company; and conveying information or motivating people. Effective communication depends on choosing words and tones appropriately based on factors like age, gender, and culture, and using body language and eye contact to reinforce the message. The functions often overlap, such as providing information to establish a basis for persuasion and motivation.

    Communication

    is a complex process. People


    do no just communicate because people love
    to talk. Humans communicate for several
    reasons.

    Collectively

    these reasons are called the


    Functions of Communication.

    FUNCTIONS OF
    COMMUNICATIO
    N

    REGULATION/CONTROL
    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
    Communication
    functions to control
    behavior.

    Verbal Cues
    Specific

    words chosen and used.

    Speaker

    and listener should be respectful to


    each others culture as well as their age,
    gender, social status and religion.

    The

    words are usually directives, orders,


    requests, meant to regulate and control ones
    behavior.

    Nonverbal Cues
    It

    include hand gestures, bodily


    (including
    posture),
    vocal
    (paralanguage), and eye contact.

    The

    action
    tone

    tone and the bodily action that


    accompany the words are authoritative and
    firm.

    Eye

    contact is direct.

    SOCIAL INTERACTION
    It

    is the most obvious, the most often used, and


    the most popular functions of communication.
    Communication allows individuals to interact
    with others.
    Just think of how many times people interact
    with other people by talking to them, conversing
    with them, laughing with them, and just
    enjoying each others company.

    Verbal Cues
    The

    words usually used are mostly


    informal
    terms
    and
    casually
    delivered,
    although
    Philippine
    society dictates certain decorum
    when talking to elders or figures of
    authority.

    Nonverbal Cues
    The

    tone used is friendly, even


    teasing, and the bodily action is
    relaxed.

    information or to convey
    information

    VERBAL CUES
    Words

    must be carefully chosen


    Jargons must be avoided

    NONVERBAL CUES
    Actual

    demonstration to
    convince the listener or
    audience

    MOTIVATION
    It

    is the most purposive function of


    communication.
    Communication motivates people to live
    better.
    Example : a speech for the graduating
    students

    Verbal Cues
    More

    direct and purposeful words


    are chosen for both men and
    women, although these can be
    softened for children and elderly

    NONVERBAL CUES
    Strong

    words are accompanied by emphatic


    gestures and forceful tone of voice.

    Direct

    eye contact is necessary to underscore


    the speakers sincerity and conviction.

    EMOTIONAL
    Appealing

    to the listeners

    feelings
    Facilitates peoples expression of
    their feelings and emotions

    life

    VERBAL CUES
    Words

    that may appeal to men may not appeal


    to women.

    There

    are words that children use that the


    elderly might find insulting and vice versa

    NONVERBAL CUES
    When

    we appeal to someone using


    emotions, we accompany this appeal
    with touching, hand holding or hugging
    or even putting an arm around
    someones shoulder.

    These

    functions are not mutually exclusive


    they do not exist independent of each other.
    Most times, the functions overlap.

    To

    be able to use Regulation/ Control,


    Information must be given first. Information is
    also important so that there will be a basis for
    Motivation to persuade the listener and to
    believe in what the Speaker is saying. Motivation
    will also be achieved if there is Emotional
    Expression in the appeal. Finally, Social
    Interaction is the basis for the other Functions to
    be accomplished.
