 TYPES OF
COMMUNICATION
INTRAPERSONAL

INTERPERSONAL
INTRAPERSONAL
Intrapersonal context
can be defined as a
“self-talk” or simply
talking to oneself.
one reads on cellphone
screen that friends are
going to have a dinner at a
favorite restaurant.

Until the moment when

one hit the “send” button,
he is communicating with
himself.
The Buffalo State University of New York
explained that intrapersonal communication
may involve different levels of communication
activity: internal discourse, solo vocal
communication and solo written
communication.
INTERNAL DISCOURSE
involves thinking, concentration and analysis.
Psychologists include both daydreaming and nocturnal
dreaming in this category. Prayer, contemplation, and
meditation also are part of this category, through from a
theological point of view the argument may be that this is not
solely internal to one person.
Overthinking about
your problem or
conflict.
SOLO VOCAL COMMUNICATION
includes speaking aloud to oneself. This
may be done to clarify thinking, to rehearse
a message intended for others, or simply to
let off steam.
Talking to yourself as
you complain about
your leader.
SOLO WRITTEN COMMUNICATION
deals with writing not intended
for others.
EX: An entry in a diary or
personal journal
INTERPERSONAL
Interpersonal communication involves a direct face-to-face
relationship between the sender and receiver of a message,
who are in an interdependent (two or more people dependent
on each other) relationship. Communication is enhanced
when the relationship exists over a long period of time.
 Interpersonal
communication can
be categorized by
the number of
participants.
 DYAD
COMMUNICATION
● involves two people.
GROUP COMMUNICATION
● involves three or more persons. The
smaller the number in the group, the
more closely this mode resembles
interpersonal communication.
EX: Group Study
PUBLIC COMMUNICATION
● involves a large group with a primarily one-
way monologue style generating only minimal
feedback. Information sharing, entertainment, and
persuasion are common purposes of public
communication.
EX: Lecture in university class.
Seminar in the office.
