                                            Communication Theory






The definition of communication:

 

Communication is a social process in which individuals employ symbols to establish and interpret meaning in their environment.

 

Communication is a process means that it is ongoing and unending. Communication is also dynamic, complex, and continually changing.

 

 As communication pioneers Paul Watzlawick, Janet Beavin, and Don Jackson (1967) suggest, the interconnectedness of communication events is critical and pervasive. Thus, it is possible to study the dynamic communication process. Communication, therefore, can be considered a process that changes over time and among interactants.

 

A symbol is an arbitrary label or representation of phenomena. Words are symbols for concepts and things. For example, the word love represents the idea of love; the word chair represents a thing we sit on.
