Document Summary

When two people communicate, both are actively engaged in the process: as people alternate between the roles of sender and receiver, they are continually giving one another feedback. Interactional - what one does to interact and converse with someone socially. Instrumental - asking for something: regulatory - giving directions to others, personal - expressing a state of mind or feeling, heuristic - finding out or inquiring. Information - giving an organized description of an event or object: restrictions in the range of communication functions one uses are signs of communication disorders in both children and adults, effective communication, all communication is not effective. Ideas about the world are communicated using a set of arbitrary symbols; symbols are words made up of sounds put together in various ways: example: in the us we say baby buggy; in the uk we say perambulator. Both countries speak english: example #2: in rhode island, they call a milkshake a cabinet.
