TYPES OF

COMMUNICATION
Presented By: Lorraine Bigas
 INTRAPERSONAL
WHAT IS INTRAPERSONAL COMMUNICATION?
Intrapersonal Communication involves talking to yourself. It
may involve deliberation, where you think about your decisions
or possible courses of action. It may also involve meditation
about yourself, where you think about your life and what is
involved in it. Negative meditation is worry -- when you
meditate on negative things abut your life and the possible
threats that they have towards you. Intrapersonal communication
allows you to get to know yourself better, organize your
thoughts, and heal yourself emotionally.
 INTRAPERSONAL
WHAT IS INTRAPERSONAL COMMUNICATION?
In intrapersonal communication, you have the opportunity
to explain yourself including your motives and actions; your
values and allow yourself to make adjustments to your
behavior based on what you think is best. This does not
include clarification because there is little or no need for
clarification when talking to yourself.
 INTERPERSONAL
WHAT IS INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION?
Interpersonal communication involves talking to one or
limited number of people. This requires you to adjust your
speech to suit the character or personality of the person or
people you talk to. Since you are communicating with a
limited number of people, the oppurtunity for feedback and
clarification is much greater.
 INTERPERSONAL
WHAT IS INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION?
When interpersonal communication is between two people,
then it is considered as a dyad. In this context, the
possibilty of clarification and feedback is maximized.
Because the interluctors (participants in a communication
situation) are focusing one on one. Adjustments are also
maximized because either one has to adjust to only one
person. In addition, the opportunity for either participant to
speak and express ideas is also maximized. This context is
very much personalized and in many cases is the best
context in communicating with a person.
 INTERPERSONAL
WHAT IS INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION?
When interpersonal communication is between three or
more people, it is considered as a small group. In this
context, the possibility of clarification and feedback is
lessened because there is more than one person to adjust in
to. In fact, adjusting to accomodate one person may
negatively impact other in terms of communication. This
means that any attempt by the speaker to adjust must bear in
mind what is beneficial to all interluctors. Also, any attempt
to clarify may disrupt the flow of communication.
 PUBLIC
COMMUNICATION
WHAT IS PUBLIC COMMUNICATION?
Public communication involves communication to a wide
group of people with very varied traits, background, interests,
and persuasions. It, therefore, requires communication means
avoiding specialized language such as jargon or slang. This
type of communication also requires you to avoid topics or
discussions that may be understandable to only a select few. In
addition, when communicating publicly, you avoid any
comment that may be prejudicial to a particular group of
people. Public communication also limits the oppotunity for
feedback and clarification due to large number of participants.
 INTERCULTURAL
COMMUNICATION
WHAT IS INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION?
Intercultural communication involves
communicating with a person or group of people
who may not share the same assumptions, values,
allegiances as that of yours and may have
different associations with the symbols you
takefor granted as having a particular
meaning. It requires you to be very careful and
engage in a lot of clacification.
 INTERCULTURAL
COMMUNICATION
WHAT IS INTERCULTURAL COMMUNICATION?
One good way of facilitating intercultural communication is to
minimize contextualization of what you say. This means the
utterances you make must be understandable outside of any
context. This also means avoiding loaded language such as
metaphors and other
figures of speech. Intercultural communication may require the
groups of people involved to speak in a language of wider
communication, usually called a lingua franca.
