Simply communication means
“Understanding” is the essence of communication. This only happens when there is an intention of understanding and being understood by those involved in a communication situation. Interaction with the purpose of sharing involves the exchange of the signs and symbols(i.e., words) In a given communicative context the absence of them also still communicates the absence of the‘ingredients’ of communication; the intention, the skills or the presence of barriers.
Communication takes place when we are supposedly at the same level of understanding
and comprehension as other interlocutors. Communication is therefore not what is said whether verbally or non-verbally, but what is understood. We have discussed earlier that understanding is influenced by perceptions and perceptions evolved over a period of time.
