IV. Introduction :
In this lesson, you will identify the nature of language, types of
communication and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the different
communication types on various and multicultural context.
Below are key concepts for reading. Details of these concepts are
discussed further in the hand-outs attached herein.
Language is a human capacity that consists of (a) a system of rules (also
known as grammar, (b) a sound system (phonology), and (c) a vocabulary
(lexicon). While growing up in a community, people acquire the languages used
by those in the community. This is the process of language acquisition. The
languages acquired while growing up are known as mother tongues, which may
be also referred to as first languages. Aside from the first language, there are other
languages that are needed for various reasons and these are called as the second
languages. People learned these second languages formally (by going to school)
or informally (by their own). Because of our interaction with other people, our
languages change and this is a natural behavior of all languages.
Depending on what is being considered, communication as a term takes on
different contexts resulting in people having different views on communication
types. Since communication is generally defined as the exchange of thoughts,
ideas, concepts, and views between or among two or more people, various
contexts come into play. Such circumstance may include the physical or actual
setting, the value positions of a speaker/listener, and the relevance or
 appropriateness of a message conveyed. It focuses on certain communication
processes and even groupings of people that constitute a communication situation.
A message may be conveyed via these types: verbal-nonverbal and visual.
Though communication is often thought of as verbal, the non-verbal mode is
equally essential as it enhances one’s message.
A model is often abstract. It is a representation of a real world
phenomenon applied to different forms. The interplay of variables in the model is
represented graphically. Try to assess what comprises the communication models
and what variables are common to each of them.
Communication ethics emphasizes that morals influence the behavior of
an individual, group, or organization thereby affecting their communication. It is
important to note that one’s behavior should be regulated by honesty, decency,
truthfulness, sincerity, and moral uprightness.
