Human being’s essential way to convey and receive understanding is through communication, it is the method of how we address and interpret messages. “Language is a form of communication to express thoughts, ideas, feelings, emotions and information.” (Language Literacy, 2008) Language is a complex process and a type of communication coordinated with thoughts. The communication of thoughts occurs through the method of language. However, language cannot be equalized with the general definition of communication because language has clear limits; to convey proper language whereas, communication could be any motion.

Verbal communication of the vocal classification incorporates spoken language. Moreover, non-vocal verbal communication includes written language, sign language or other similar possibilities of verbal language. Likewise, nonverbal communication focuses on vocal qualities such as; pitch and rate of the voice, or non-vocal qualities such as; body gestures environment, and clothing. Additionally linguists often use the term ‘paralanguage’ to refer to the non-verbal elements of speech. These can be facial expressions, body gestures and the use of time and space and so forth (Smith, 2004). Non-verbal language is a tool that reinforces the verbal language, according to Smith (2004) language is consisted of; 70 percent body gestures, 20 percent voice pitch and only about 10 percent specific spoken words. He continues by arguing that research results vary yet that the consensus is clear; non-verbal language is extremely important in human
The Impacts of Communication on an Individual’s Personality “When people don't express themselves, they die one piece at a time” (Anderson 122). People tend to repress their feelings when an unpleasant event occurs fearing the judgemental society which can have a major negative impact on one’s mental health and personality. A freshman in highschool and protagonist of Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson, is an introverted but very creative student, turns into a victim of sexual assault. Due to the traumatic experience, Melinda is unable to communicate her trauma with anyone, as for a ninth grader entering the rigorous world of adolescence, it is hard for her to navigate and communicate her thoughts and feelings regarding such a traumatic experience
Many people would agree that language is something that makes people conscious beings. A person can use it for communication, an essential tool for sharing ideas that massively contributed to the development of the human civilization. Moreover, there are many ways to express oneself with a help of words. Furthermore, the quality of language depends on knowledge. If a person knows words, definitions, language structure, can read and write, it gives an individual an immense scope of possibilities, from reading books to writing letters, as well as delivering speeches.
Innate Language and Non-Human Primates Language is a form of communication and can be portrayed in many different ways not just vocalization, this is shown by those that use sign language rather than vocalization; these humans still have complex language but they lack the necessary organs or capabilities to produce all of the sounds needed for vocal language; similarly, some non-human primates use different interactions as language not just production and combinations of sounds. Non-human primates do not have the ability to vocalize the way humans do because they lack vocal cords, control of the necessary vocalization, and other speech organs, but that does not mean that they cannot effectively communicate through language with other non-human

This happens through speech and sound perception. As for non-verbal communication, it employs non-verbal means among which there are body and sign language, touch (refers to haptic perception), and, finally,
Communication is the process of transferring of information. Viswanathan (2010) says communication can take many forms of verbal and non-verbal methods which may include speaking, writing, gestures, expressions, listening and body language to name a few.

Introduction: Being an allied healthcare professional requires not only the ability to meet standards and to be able to work in a consistent professional manner, but also to be person centred, compassionate and a good listener. Person centred care means that radiographers consider the individual, health needs, social background or lifestyle in order to find the best outcome for the patient. Diagnostic radiographers interact with people at the time in their lives when they are most likely to feel vulnerable, feel uncertain about their future or anxious about results. Therefore, person centred care can be achieved through good communication skills such as verbal and nonverbal which can aid the relationship between the radiographer and the patient to promote person-centred care. Also, it is good practice to involve patient into decision-making as it empowers patients and helps radiographers to perceive things from the patient’s point of view.
Introduction ‘Language gives shape and organisation to thought’ (Winch, Ross- Johnston, March, Ljungdahl & Holliday, 2010. Pg 467). Several fascinating aspects of language include it being a form of communication, which interprets information and passes messages from one person to another. For each individual language is different due to cultural backgrounds and beliefs, different communities and also the individuals’ capabilities. Speaking to a person verbally is not the only form of language, it can be writing, reading, listening and even body language.
Language is a system of communication consisting of sounds, words and grammar, or the system of communication used by the people of a particular country or profession. Even animals communicate. Birds use sound and movement to transfer information. Likewise human beings use sound and movement like speech and gesture to communicate.

Introduction: Communication is sharing process which involves expressing ideas, thoughts, feelings or sending the right message that is also being correctly received and understand by the other person/s who is receiving it on the other end.

The two key topics in class in the last weeks, for me. Two of the most relevant topics developed in the last weeks were: non-verbal communication and the barriers to communication. Everytime we communicate with another person or group of people, we have to take into account some factors other than what we are actually saying that can affect how the message is going to be received: body language, tone, intonation, facial expressions, and others; this is what we understand for non-verbal communication. As we saw in class “55% of communication is body language, 38% is the tone of voice, and 7% is the actual words spoken.”
Introduction: The process of communicating successfully with our family, friends, co-workers, business associates and people is one of the most critical skills. Communication is such a key part of life that I often tell to a person that “Its no use of someone if he/she really don’t know by associates people in their work place or area of field”. Communication makes us to be known of others, good or bad that depends on usability of a person communication. And, it is up to each of us to learn to communicate well with those who are important to us.
Language is an important part of our life. Language and communication cannot separate. People use the language as a means of communication to express their ideas and feelings. They communicate either with each other using language in every social interaction; communicate with others directly or indirectly in the spoken and written form. Therefore, language is an important thing of communication in social life.
