SPEECHCOMMUNICATION

You can speak well if your tongue can deliver the message of your heart.The process by which meanings are exchanged b/w people through the use of common set of symbols is called COMMUNICATION.

What is Speech Communication? (from Latin "communis", meaningto share) is defined as a process by which we assign and convey meaning in an attempt to create shared understanding. This process requires a vast repertoire of skills in intrapersonal and interpersonal processing, listening, observing, speaking, questioning, analyzing, and evaluating. Use of these processes is developmental and transfers to all areas of life: home, school, community, work, and beyond. It is through communication that collaboration and cooperation occur.
