ABSTRACT
The full picture of the human communicative sciences encompasses both the initiator and the receiver of the signal. The former has two tasks – to compose a meaningful message in proper symbolic representation and semantic organization, and to control the throat and facial muscles that articulate it. In turn, the recipient must perceive (hear) the message and comprehend it. Such a sketchy two-way matrix does not even hint at the many perturbations and embellishments that may besiege or grace, as the case may be, this major higher nervous activity.
