WHAT IS IT

Basically, there are five functions of communication. These are Information

Dissemination, Control, Motivation, Emotional Expression and Social Interaction.

Function 1. Information Dissemination

The first and foremost function of communication is to provide information.

This function is performed in many ways. Before providing or delivering an

information, one has to receive, collect or gather information from various sources,

both external and internal, and through various media, verbal or non-verbal, body

language or paralanguage, sign language or audio-visual aids, books, journals,

newspapers, advertisements, brochures etc.

.

What are the

functions of oral

communication?

4

12

It is essential that these pieces of information will provide relevant and meaningful

facts for the consumption of the people as they live on their daily lives.

Example:

A teacher to students: “I will present to you the steps in writing an argumentative

essay.”

A bystander to a tourist: “Yes. There is an apartment near the Apple building.

You can check it out.”

Function 2. Control

The next very important function of communication is to control ‘one’s behavior’

in several ways. In every oral context or conversation, it is necessary to facilitate a

conversation so that the monopoly of sharing ideas will not occur. Various rules and

protocols in communication may it be formal or informal must be strictly adhered in order

to achieve a meaningful conversation.

Example:

A speaker to the audience: “Before I start, please turn off your mobile phones.”

Doctor’s Prescription: “Take your medicine 3 times a day.”

Function 3. Motivation

What we need nowadays are words that inspire and encourage us. Basically, the

most significant function of oral communication is to motivate. Pep talks or inspirational

words are the common examples of this function.

Example:

A teacher to student: “Believe in yourself. You can always do it.”

A counselor to a student: “You can do better than this. Always look the positive

side of the situation.”

Function 4. Emotional Expression

The small-group communication is a primary source for social interaction. The

communication that takes place within the group is of vital importance in the sense that it

gives them the best opportunity to share their frustrations as well as feelings of

satisfaction. Communication, in this way, provides them a release of their feelings which

is the fulfillment of an important social need.

Example:

A friend to a friend: “I’m so glad that you came into my life.”

Mother to a daughter: “I am always at your side. I will be your greatest supporter.”

Function 5: Social Interaction

5

13

Social Interaction is used to produce social relationships; used to develop bonds, intimacy, and relationship; used to express preferences, desires, needs, wants,

decisions, goals, and strengths.

Example:

A friend to a friend: “What would you like to order?”

Costumer to a seller: “How much is a sack of rice?”

I FOR IDENTIFY. Directions: Read each utterance below. Then, identify the function of

communication of these utterances. Write your answer on the space provided for.

your chairs.”

listen to you.”
