Defining Communication

1. Communication is the process of expressing and exchanging information, thoughts, ideas,

and feelings
2. Communication can be defined as the process of transmitting information and common
understanding from one person to another (Keyton, 2011).
3. According to Wood (20004), communication is a systematic process in which individuals
interact with and through symbols to create and interpret meaning
4. The word ‘communication’ is derived from the Latin word communis, which means,
common. The definition underscores the fact that unless a common understanding results from the
exchange of information, there is no communication.

Nature of Communication
1. Communication is a process

2. Communication is systematic

3. Communication is symbolic

4. Communication involves meaning

Agent, as you go along in this journey, you will realize how important communication is. In
