ABSTRACT

Let us understand some basic concepts of communication in general and how it is defined and conceptualized specific to projects.

Communication Concepts Communication is as old as human beings. It is perhaps older than civilization and it is older than the oldest language ever existed on earth. Communication is part

and parcel of every living entity’s life. We perform some kind of communication all the time, but yet communication skill is elusive to most people. Human beings invented, cultured, and nurtured so many different languages, dialects, grammars, scripts, signals, mediums, channels, tools, and technologies to make communication better, easier, simpler, and more convenient. Ironically, it has become more and more complex. In the modern world, communication, along with its numerous branches and subbranches, has become a vast area of research. With advancing technologies, changing social patterns, increasing global human interactions, and rising business competition, new aspects are constantly being added to communication. Readers must have come across terms such as “linguistic communication,” “paralinguistic communication,” “interpersonal communication,” “anomalous communication,” “psychic communication,” “auditory communication, verbal communication, nonverbal communication, written communication,” “mass communication,” “telecommunication,” etc. Še list goes on and on-it is mind boggling.
