3 Theory of Verbal Communication

It has been suggested that since verbal communication (i.e., using human language to represent the world and pass on information) can be seen as a subsystem of a larger system of human communication, it therefore exhibits all features of an open communication system (cf. Katz and Kahn 1966). The following characteristics provide an insight into the nature of ́the speechmaking system ́ from this p...

Bacterial communication and relevance of quantum theory

The recent findings confirm that bacteria communicate each other through chemical and electrical signals. Bacteria use chemical signaling molecules which are called as quorum sensing molecules( QSMs) or autoinducers. Moreover, the ion channels in bacteria conduct a long-range electrical signaling within biofilm communities through propagated waves of potassium ions and biofilms attracts other b...

Explaining Developmental Communication Disorders

been a commitment to the notion that the subtypes or dimensions of developmental speech sound disorders are organized on the basis of their etiology, and that the surface features of these disorders will reflect this multiple causal organization. Certain key points of this perspective are particularly prominent. First, etiology is key to the study of developmental communication disorders. This ...

Barriers in Verbal Communication

The paper presents the main barriers in oral verbal communication both in sending and receiving the messages. These barriers reduce the role of the verbal component in communication. After the analysis of Shannon and Weaver's model with its strengths and weaknesses, we have identified the barriers which may complete their model.
