The five basic functions of communication

1. Control- to exercise restraint or direction formally or informally.
This happens particularly among members or acquaintances.
Using communication to regulate or control means

you use verbal and nonverbal cues to manage an
individual or group. This kind of communication is
meant to encourage the other person to reciprocate
encouraging or positive feedback from the initial
interaction. This kind of communication also controls
the behavior of person and this control will adhere to
the rules or culture/practices of their organization,
group, or fellowship.
Example: An interviewee trying to control herself to

meet the expectations set by the interviewer. The
interviewee changes her behavior according to how
the interviewer manages the conversation.
2. Social interaction- communication allows acting and reacting to
the behavior of people around us. By revealing our thoughts and
feelings, we elicit reactions from others.
One of the reasons why we communicate is to

connect with others or with ourselves. Social
Interaction and Emotional expression are the most
used form of communication we use. We use it every
day when we hold conversations with our friends or
classmates, or when we express how we feel when
we felt offended or when we feel happy and state our
opinion.
However, the way we communicate with others will

depend on how close we are to them or how much we
value them. How you talk to your best friend will be
very different with how you talk to someone you just
met or to someone with high authority.
3. Emotional Expression- communication makes possible the
release or unloading of emotions, resulting in catharsis. It facilitates
people’s expression of their feelings and emotions.
Emotional expression is also a form of

communication. As with how you talk with someone
depending on your relationship with that person,
emotional expression can also be communicated
differently depending on how emotionally close you
4. Motivation- the energy that influences a person’s behavior in
are ways
different to thetoperson.
his pursuit of his goal or objectives. It encourages
people to live better.
Positive motivation happens when the speaker

who is motivating someone or a group uses his or her
skills in communication as a bridge towards self
assessments, confidence, knowledge, etc. Negative
motivation, on the other hand, can lead either to
communication apprehension, social anxiety,
shyness or public speaking anxiety.
Communication anxiety happens when a person

becomes fearful of communicating with another
person or a group. This fear is either imagined or real,
and may have rooted from a previous experience.
Signs of apprehension include sweaty palms or feeling
upset stomach also known as butterflies in the
stomach. These physical signs motivate someone to
avoid communication or feel anxious when forced to
communicate.
Context apprehension happens when the anxiety

to communicate happens in certain situations only
such as interpersonal, small group or public speaking.
Fear of Public speaking is also called stage fright.

This is when a person hesitates or avoids speaking
in front of a large group or large audience.
The next is shyness, this happens when you feel

uncomfortable when speaking to a small group or
people. Shy people are afraid to initiate
communication or actively participate in small group
discussions.
Lastly, we have social anxiety, which is when

someone hesitates interpersonal communication. This
kind of anxiety happens when a person feels
threatened and scared of what other people say or
think about them.
5. Information dissemination- it is the most basic function of
communication that provides data and information for effective
completion of tasks, solution of problems, and elimination of
uncertainty.
Information exchange is the core reason why we

communicate. Information is needed for an individual

to build a harmonious relationship with others and with
its environment. Information and communication will
always be linked to each other.
These are the five functions of communication. As

an effective communicator, you must set your goal as
to what you want to achieve before you proceed so
that you can utilize your knowledge in verbal and non-
verbal cues to your advantage.
The purpose of communication
The purpose of communication can be effectively realized and

fulfilled by using different kinds of talks.
- Locke, 1998
1.Small-talk is a form of non-threatening

communication that may be used to affect social
interaction.
Purposes:
To maintain the status quo;
 To break the ice;
 To get acquainted; and
 To establish a relationship
2. Light-Control Talk is the tactful use of power to
get results and may be used to motivate people.
Purposes:
To persuade;
 To direct;
 To seek but not force agreement; and
 To use legitimate authority.
3. Heavy- Control Talk is designed to place blame
and to control or regulate people. This creates
defensiveness on the part of the receiver and is
rarely, if ever, appropriate.
Purposes:
 To blame;
 To attack;
 To threaten;
 To coerce; and
 To demand.
4.Search Talk is another non-threatening approach
when you want to gather data or the consensus of
others to be able to provide information.

Purposes:
 To center or an issue; and
 To examine and clarify the issue.
5.Straight Talk is good for problem-solving and
conflict resolution and may be used to facilitate
emotional expression for catharsis, which is the act of
purging, cleansing, and unloading of ideas and
emotions.
Purposes:
 To concentrate on the here and now;
 To focus on issues;
 To share feelings;
 To acknowledge feelings; and
 To accept without judging.
