THE PROCESS OF COMMUNICATION

THE PROCESS OF COMMUNICATION
Communication as a process connotes that it is a dynamic course that when set in motion, evolved from one stage to another, James, Ode and Soola (1990:4) states that "communication process involves an action, reaction and then interaction".
This refers to the initiative taken by a sender or source to share information, observation or opinion with others. This could be done through writing, speaking, drawing or gesturing. This means a response to the action by the sender. The kind of response determines whether or not the receiver is willing to party to the communication encounter, and sets the tone or atmosphere for it, reaction on a communication process may come by ways of reply, rejoinder, answers, acknowledgement, retort or defense.
It is the spontaneous reciprocity of messages between a send and a receiver; it is a stage of exchange of message between two or more persons sharing common experience, codes and symbols. Interaction as process of communication creates an overlap of field of experience between a source and a recipient. With this they are tuned to each other physically, mentally or psychologically, and provide a basis to carry on the encounter (interaction) meaningfully and successfully.
