Definition of “Communication”The roots of the word communication (communis, or common) accurately portray its purpose. In communication the speaker is attempting to “be one” with the listener. In the process of “being one” we develop a communion, a transaction, a dialogue. At its foundation, communication involves a uniting and exchanging of thoughts. As a result, the speaker is obligated to create a clear picture of reality to stimulate listeners to “make common” his or her thoughts. (Cap 4-5)
