WHAT IS IT
Basically, there are five functions of communication. These are Information
Dissemination, Control, Motivation, Emotional Expression and Social Interaction.
Function 1. Information Dissemination
The first and foremost function of communication is to provide information.
This function is performed in many ways. Before providing or delivering an
information, one has to receive, collect or gather information from various sources,
both external and internal, and through various media, verbal or non-verbal, body
language or paralanguage, sign language or audio-visual aids, books, journals,
newspapers, advertisements, brochures etc.
.
What are the
functions of oral
communication?

12
It is essential that these pieces of information will provide relevant and meaningful
facts for the consumption of the people as they live on their daily lives.
Example:
A teacher to students: “I will present to you the steps in writing an argumentative
essay.”
A bystander to a tourist: “Yes. There is an apartment near the Apple building.
You can check it out.”
Function 2. Control
The next very important function of communication is to control ‘one’s behavior’
in several ways. In every oral context or conversation, it is necessary to facilitate a
conversation so that the monopoly of sharing ideas will not occur. Various rules and
protocols in communication may it be formal or informal must be strictly adhered in order
to achieve a meaningful conversation.
Example:
A speaker to the audience: “Before I start, please turn off your mobile phones.”
Doctor’s Prescription: “Take your medicine 3 times a day.”
Function 3. Motivation
What we need nowadays are words that inspire and encourage us. Basically, the
most significant function of oral communication is to motivate. Pep talks or inspirational
words are the common examples of this function.
Example:
A teacher to student: “Believe in yourself. You can always do it.”
A counselor to a student: “You can do better than this. Always look the positive
side of the situation.”
Function 4. Emotional Expression
The small-group communication is a primary source for social interaction. The
communication that takes place within the group is of vital importance in the sense that it
gives them the best opportunity to share their frustrations as well as feelings of
satisfaction. Communication, in this way, provides them a release of their feelings which
is the fulfillment of an important social need.
Example:
A friend to a friend: “I’m so glad that you came into my life.”
Mother to a daughter: “I am always at your side. I will be your greatest supporter.”
Function 5: Social Interaction

Social Interaction is used to produce social relationships; used to develop bonds, intimacy, and relationship; used to express preferences, desires, needs, wants,
decisions, goals, and strengths.
