Definition of communication:-
Communication is any behavior, verbal or non verbal , that is perceived by another . knowledge, feelings or thoughts are encoded and sent from at least one person and received and decoded by at least one another. this is a connection which is made between the people communicating.

Define verbal, nonverbal and graphic communication:-
Verbal communication:- the basis of communication is the interaction between people. Verbal communication is one way for people to communicate face to face. Some of the key components of verbal communication are sounds, words, speaking and language.
At birth, most people have vocal cords, which produce sounds. As a child grows it learns how to form these sounds into words. Some words may be imitative of natural sounds, but others may come from expressions of emotion, such as laughter or crying. Words alone have no meaning. Only people can put meaning into words. As meaning is assigned to words, language develops, which leads to the development of speaking.
Non-verbal communication:-nonverbal communication is usually understood as the process of communication through sending and receiving wordless messages. Nonverbal communication can be communicated through gesture and touch (haptic communication) , by body language or posture by facial expression and eye contact. nonverbal communication can be communicated through object communication such as clothing, hairstyles or even architecture, symbols and info graphics. Speech contains nonverbal elements known as paralanguage, including voice quality, emotion and speaking style, as well as prosodic features such as rhythm, intonation and stress. Dance is also regarded as a nonverbal communication.





Graphic communication:-Graphic communication represents ideas, relationships or connections visually with shapes, diagrams and lines. graphic communication can have both verbal and nonverbal components For example:-some of the “no smoking” signs displayed in public places. Graphical communication involves using visual material to relate ideas, such as drawings, photographs, slides, transparencies and sketches. The drawings of little children, and a rough map sketched to show the way could be considered graphical communication. Any medium that uses a graphics to aid in conveying a message, instruction, or an idea is involved in graphical communication.
Define the sender, receiver, message, feedback and perception:-
Sender: - An object that sends a message to another object. On the level of code implementation, the sender is considered to be the sending method within the class or instance that issues the message. Contrast with receiver. the sender encodes an idea or feelings in words or signs that the receiver will recognize and transmits this message to receiver.
Receiver: - The receiver in information theory is the receiving end of a communication channel. It receives decoded messages/information from the sender, who first encoded them. Sometimes the receiver is modeled so as to include the decoder. Real-world receivers like radio receivers or telephones can not be expected to receive as much information as predicted by the noisy channel coding theorem.
Message: - A message in its most general meaning is an object of communication. It is something which provides information; it can also be this information itself. Therefore, its meaning is dependent upon the context in which it is used; the term may apply to both the information and its form. A communiqué is a brief report or statement released by a public agency.




Feedback: - Feedback describes the situation when output from (or information about the result of) an event or phenomenon in the past will influence the same event/phenomenon in the present or future. When an event is part of a chain of cause-and-effect that forms a circuit or loop, then the event is said to "feed back" into itself.
Perception:- perception is the way people understand or give meaning to their environment. Perception and interpretation of the same message varies according to how each individual’s perception is influenced by experience, attitudes and beliefs and range of acquired skills or expectations.
1. Experience
2. family
3. feelings
4. culture
These four factors influence the perception of the sender or receiver of a message.

Four different type of communication:-

· Verbal/ Dialogue
· Nonverbal
· Visual/ Graphic
· Other types (July 18, 2009)
a. Facilitated communication
b. Graphic communication
c. Nonviolent Communication
d. Science communication
e. Strategic Communication
f. Superluminal communication
g. Technical communication


ii. Define these & give an example of each
· Other types
a. Facilitated communication – assisted commutation
b. Nonviolent Communication – honest self-expression & empathy
c. Science communication – speaking science to a “layman”
d. Strategic Communication – concept, data, process
e. Superluminal communication - hypothetical process
f. Technical communication - conveying technical information through writing, speech, and other mediums to a specific audience
