FUNCTIONS OF
COMMUNICATION
“The best answer to bad speech Is good speech.”
Alan M. Dershowbiz
OVERVIEW
Hey learner! After having learned the basics in communication, you are now
about to explore ME! I will lead you to the HOWs of communication. I will help you
discover the various functions of communication including the different types of oral
texts.
Oh, by the way, “function” refers to the particular purpose for which a thing is
used, something exists, or a person is fitted to meet his or somebody else’s needs or
desires. Thus, functions of communication refer to a particular purpose for which you
as learner use communication, in your own context and time.
Speaking of purpose, you always have a definite purpose whenever you
communicate, which is usually intentional, perceptible or recognizable, and functional
or designed to achieve something positive. In some instances, however, your good
intention produces a concomitant or accompanying unintentional, dysfunctional result.
To avoid having this unintended negative effect, you need to use clear, correct
language and be sensitive.
