Communication: Meaning, Importance and Process
o
Explain the meaning and definition of communication in detail.
rtu 2013
Ans
Meaning of Communication
The word communication has been originated from the Latin
word communico or communicare, which means to share. Various
researchers and analysts define the term communication in their
own way. Despite their different versions, it can be briefly defined
as ,
Communication essentially means the transfer of ideas, feelings,
plans, messages, or information from one person to another.
Communication means our ability or skill to convey our
thoughts and ideas to other. It is an essential requirement for all
human interactions. It is a process of exchange of ideas, opinions
and information. Communication is not confined to messaging or
sharing of information. It involves not just words but the use of
all our senses. In face-to-face conversation, facial expressions, tone,
body language, ability to listen with patience play an important
role.
Communication is not confined to human beings only. All the
creatures including birds, animals, insects communicate but they
have their own ways to communicating.

that firms which communicate better sell better. This communication
can be done in various ways such as advertisements, sales-channel,

larger the number of customers he/she can attract. Salesmanship
is primarily an art of communication. Besides, companies keep
competing with one another through advertisements and other
propagandist strategies for securing a higher position in the market.
All this involves communication at every step.
4. Harmony
Trade unions believe in bargaining with the management and insist
on the protection of the rights and dignity of the workers. The
management and such unions share a delicate relation and without a
proper communication between the two, no harmony can be expected
to exist in an organization.

7. Media communication
1. Verbal Communication
A business professional spends most of his/her working time in
speaking and listening to others. Besides, speaking and listening, he
also spends time in reading and writing. This type of communication
is termed as verbal communication. Verbal communication thus
stands both for the spoken and the written word used in the
communication process. It can further be divided into oral and
written communication.
(i) Oral communication: A face-to-face interaction between
the sender and the receiver is called oral communication.
This type of communication can occur between two or more
than two persons who use spoken language as a medium of
communication. For example, whenever we make presentations,
deliver speeches, participate in group discussions, appear for
interviews, or simply interact with somebody, we are involved
in oral communication.
(ii) Written communication: In this type of communication, the
sender uses the written mode to transmit his/her messages.
Reports, proposals, books, handbooks, letters, emails, etc. come
in this category. Written communication is routinely used for
documentation purposes in all type of organisations.
2. Non-verbal communication
When a message is communicated without using a word, the process
requires non-verbal signs to be transmitted and received. Non-verbal
communication forms an important part in the world of professional
communication. It can be further categorized into two partsbody
language and paralinguistic features. Body language involves aspects
such as personal appearance, walk, gestures, facial expressions, hand
movements, posture, and eye contact. The paralinguistic features
include a persons voice, volume, pitch, rate, pauses, articulation,
voice modulation, etc.
3. Intrapersonal communication:
It is communication within oneself i.e., it takes place within ones
own self. It can be individuals reflection, contemplation, and
mediation. Many times we interact with our inner individual and
that is basically interpersonal communication. Most of us carry on

4. Interpersonal communication
This type of communication happens directly in written or
orally between two or more persons. The oral form of this type
of communication, such as a dialogue or a conversation between
two or more people, is personal and direct, and permits maximum
interaction through words and gestures. Communication becomes
interpersonal to the extent that the people involved can see each
others uniqueness and can explain and predict each others behaviour
on the basis of uniqueness.
5. Public communication
This type of communication occurs publicly when people gather in
a large number. A speaker has to talk and contribute in his speech.
Thus public speaking leads to an imbalance in the ratio of speakers
and listeners. One of just few members talk, while rest of the group
serves as listener or an audience. Audience can communicate by
giving their feedback in the form of non-verbal responses such as
comments, clap etc.
6. Mass communication:
This is generally identified with tools of modern mass media, which
include books, the press, cinema, television, radio, the Internet, etc.
It means a message is constructed and transmitted to people at
distant places and often at different times. It is developing at a
faster pace and technological developments of the 21st century are
also influencing.
7. Media Communication
This types of communication takes place only with the help of
electronic media, such as computer, cell phones, LCD, video,
television, etc. Of these, the Internet has become a major means for
all sorts of official or personal communication.

CHAPTER 4
Verbal and non-verbal communication
Ans
Any communication made between two people without words and
simply through facial movements, gestures or hand movements is
called as non verbal communication. In other words, it is a speechless
communication where content is not put into words but simply
expressed through expressions.
For example, if one has a headache, one would put his hand on
his forehead to communicate his discomfort. This is a form of non
verbal communication. We communicate through non-verbal means
of communication very effectively.
On the other hand, verbal communication means communication
through words. It may be in the form of written words or spoken
words, i.e., written communication and oral communication.

Ans
Nonverbal communication is all aspects of communication other than
words themselves. It includes not only gestures and body language
but also how we utter words: inflection, pauses, tone, volume, and
accent. These nonverbal features affect the meaning of our words.
Nonverbal communication also includes features of environments
that affect interaction, personal objects such as jewelry and clothes,
physical appearance, and facial expressions.
Body Language
Some parts of our body can express many indications without
any sound. Message can be transmitted with the help of our body
movements which is called body language. Body language is a form
of non-verbal communication, which consists of posture, gestures,
facial expressions, eye movements etc. These are discussed below
1. Facial expression
A facial expression is one or more motions or positions of the muscles
in the skin of face. These movements convey the emotional state of
the individual to observers. Facial expressions for happiness, sadness,
anger and fear are similar throughout the world. Proverb says, Face
is the index of mind. Example: By waving our hands we express
good-bye; by shaking our head from side to side we express we do
not know.
2. Gestures
Gestures refers to visible bodily actions communicate particular
messages which include movement of the hands, face, eyes, head or
other parts of the body. Common gestures include waving, pointing,
and using fingers to indicate numeric amounts. Culture-specific
gestures that can be used as replacement for words, such as the hand
wave used in western cultures for hello and goodbye.
3. Posture

standing or sitting. It can help to communicate non-verbally.

6. Touch
Touch is culturally determined. But each culture has clear concept of
what parts of the body one may not touch. Basic message of touch
is to affect or control-protect, support and disapprove (i.e. hug, kiss,
hit, kick)
USA-Handshake is common (even for strangers), hugs and
kisses for those of opposite gender or of family (usually) on
an increasingly more intimate basis.
Islamic and Hindu- Typically dont touch with the left hand.
Islamic cultures generally dont approve of any touching
to opposite genders (even handshakes). But consider such
touching (including hand holding, hugs) between same
genders to be appropriate.
7. Silence
Silence is another form of non-verbal communication which expresses
the positive or negative meanings of particular messages. In a
classroom, silence indicates that students are listening carefully and
attentively.

channel for the transmission of information is known as informal

each other about their professional life, personal life and other
matter. Example: sharing of feelings, casual discussion, gossips etc.
Informal communication is also known by the name of grapevine.
Grapevine generally develops due to various reasons. when
employees sense a need to exchange their views, they go for grapevine
network as they cannot use the formal channel of communication
in that case. Generally during breaks in cafeteria, the subordinates
talk about their superiors attitude and behaviour and exchange
views with their peers. They discuss rumours about promotion and
transfer of other employees. Thus, grapevine spreads like fire and it
is not easy to trace the cause of such communication at times.
Pros
1. Grapevine channels carry information rapidly. As soon as
an employee gets to know some confidential information, he
becomes inquisitive and passes the details then to his closest
friend who in turn passes it to other. Thus, it spreads hastily.
2. The managers get to know the reactions of their subordinates
on their policies. Thus, the feedback obtained is quick compared
to formal channel of communication.
3. The grapevine creates a sense of unity among the employees who

share and discuss their views with each other. Thus, grapevine
helps in developing group cohesiveness.
4. The grapevine serves as an emotional supportive value.
5. The grapevine is a supplement in those cases where formal
communication does not work.
6. People involved with informal communication do not hesitate
to exchange views and ideas as there is no pressure to all. They
have open mind to share information with positive attitude.
Cons
1. The grapevine carries partial information at times as it is more
based on rumours. Thus, it does not clearly depicts the complete
state of affairs.
2. The grapevine is not trustworthy always as it does not follows
official path of communication and is spread more by gossips
and unconfirmed report.
3. The productivity of employees may be hampered as they spend
more time talking rather than working.
4. The grapevine leads to making hostility against the executives.
5. The grapevine may hamper the goodwill of the organization
as it may carry false negative information about the high level
people of the organization.
A smart manager should take care of all the disadvantages of the
grapevine and try to minimize them. At the same time, he should
make best possible use of advantages of grapevine.

What are the formal channels of communication?
rtu 2013
Ans
The communication in which the flow of information is already
defined is termed as Formal Communication. The communication
follows a hierarchical chain of command which is established by the
organization itself. In general, this type of communication is used
exclusively in the workplace and the employees are bound to follow it
while performing their duties. Example: requests, commands, orders,
reports etc. The formal communication channels are of four types i.e.

4. Diagonal Communication
Communication that takes place between a manager and employees
of other workgroups is called diagonal communication. It generally
does not appear on organizational chart. For example; To design a
training module a training manager interacts with an operations
personnel to enquire about the way they perform their task.
5. External Communication
Communication that takes place between a manager and external
groups such as - suppliers, vendors, banks, financial institutes etc.
For instance - To raise capital the Managing director would interact

Downward Communication
Downward communication occurs when information and messages
flow down through an organizations formal chain of command or
hierarchical structure. In other words, messages and orders start
at the upper levels of the organizational hierarchy and move down

Advantages
Downward communication provides certain advantages to an
organization as discussed below.
1. Organizational discipline: Downward communication follows the
organizations hierarchy, meaning that organizational discipline
and member compliance is much easier to maintain.
2. Efficiency: Downward communication offers efficiencies because
instructions and information come from the sources in power
that are able to coordinate activities from the top of the
organization. Employees receive feedback from the supervisors
who manage them.
3. Effective communication of goals: Upper management can
easily communicate goals and assign responsibilities regarding
achieving those goals.
4. Ease of delegation: Delegation is much easier if the delegation
comes directly from the vertical communication structure
representing the chain of command.
Disadvantages
Downward communication has some disadvantages also as discussed
below.
1. Distortion: Downward communications can become distorted as
it proceeds through multiple levels of the organization.
2. Slow feedback: It takes time for messages to go down the
organization and then up the organization and then back down
again. This means that feedback can be slow, resulting in
problems, especially in a dynamic environment.
3. Interpretative Problems: Downward communication presents
interpretation problems because of the distortion effect and
slow feedback for message clarification.
4. Lowers Morale: Given the time communication takes and the
problems with distorted messages, downward communications
can have a negative impact on organizational morale.

3. Mention the qualities and skills required for good written business
communication.
rtu 2013
Ans
The qualities and skills required for good written business are as
below:
2. A Clear Purpose
Most written communication exists to make a point or to tell a
story. Effective written communication makes the central point of
the message or story clear. No one reading a well-written piece, be it
an email or a report, should be confused about the purpose behind
the writing. Persuasive writing explains the goal of the writer clearly
and unambiguously, asks the reader to do something specific and
explains why the reader should respond as the writer requests.
3. A Positive Attitude
Effective written communication tends to be positive in tone, and
shouldnt be rooted in anger. It may feel good to write an email or
an office memo while youre angry, but its not likely that the result
will be effective at producing the results you want.
4. Brevity
Effective written communication is brief and to the point. Every
sentence is meaningful. Every paragraph carries one major point
and makes that point well. Longer isnt better when it comes to
writing, because overwriting doesnt help your message. Overly long
sentences can be hard for a reader to unravel and understand. Overly
long paragraphs can be daunting for a reader, who may choose to
put the communication down if he feels intimidated by its length.

5. A Conversational Tone
Effective written communication uses a conversational tone, and
never sounds formal or stuffy. It uses active verbs to help the
communication feel lively. Sometimes striking a conversational tone
means using contractions (Im, youre, dont, cant). It can
even mean writing in the first person (Here is what I just learned),
though this isnt appropriate for all forms of writing, particularly
reports and news articles. Especially effective writing finds a point
of connection between the writer and the reader, which will make the
reader want to keep reading.

CHAPTER 7
Barriers to communication
o
What are the communication barriers?
RTU 2014
o
Explain in detail the barriers to communication.
rtu 2013
Ans
Barriers to Communication
In a complete communication, the ideas and messages have to
reach from the transmitter to receiver in the same sense. If it
does not happen, it is a on account of barriers in communication.
Followings are the few important and commonly found barriers in
the communication process.
1. Semantic Barriers
Semantics refers to the science of meaning. It is contrasted with
phonetics, the science of sounds. This barrier is related to the process
of coding and decoding the message. In a communication process,
while exchanging information, there could be various disruptions in
understanding the meaning of the words. There are various types of
semantic barriers as discussed below.
(i) Words having multiple meaning: A symbol or a word can
have different meanings. If the receiver misunderstands the
communication, it becomes meaningless. For example, the word
value can have different meanings in the following sentences:
(a) What is the value of computer education these days?
(b) What is the value of this mobile set?
(c) Value our friendship.
(ii) Badly expressed message: Lack of clarity and precision make
the message badly expressed. Due to lack of coherence, awkward

2. Organizational Barriers
There are various causes of communication barriers in an organization.
Interference may arise from the relative status and power of the
participants, the exercise of traditional roles, and incompatible
needs and expectations. It may arise because of centralization or
decentralization in an organization. It may originate in contradictory
management policies, or too many levels of management, or the clash
between line and staff operations. The specialized nature of functions
or even the special languages of those functions may cause it. It
may have its source in formal, informal, or grapevine transactions.
Following are the organizational barriers in communication.
(i) Organizational culture and climate: The climate and culture
of an organization ultimately influence the freedom, trust and
interaction pattern among people in an organization. As people
working over there take time to adapt themselves, bottlenecks
in communication are inevitable.
(ii) Organizational rules and regulations: Every organization
has different sets of rule and regulation from others. In some
organization, these rules and regulations may be so rigid that
they may influence the flow of information in a wrong direction.

3. Personal Barriers
The above-mentioned organisational barriers are important in
themselves but there are some barriers which are directly connected
with the sender and the receiver. They are called personal barriers.
From the point of view of convenience, they have been divided into
two parts:

4. Psychological Barriers
Psychological barriers are the prime barriers in interpersonal
communication. The meaning assigned to a message depends upon
the emotional or psychological status of both the parties involved in
the process of communication. Following are the emotional barriers
in the way of communication:
(i) Selective perception : In a communication process, the receiver
has his/her own perception which could be limited and selected.
In every message transmitted by the sender, receiver projects his
interest and expectations as he decode messages. He may only
take that much piece of information, which may suit his world
of thinking. As a result, the person acquires incomplete and
inappropriate information, which influence the communication
process. It can cause perceptual distortions.
(ii) Halo effect: People do not listen carefully because of impressions
based on earlier encounters. Even one of the parties having an
halo effect will disrupt the flow of communication.
(iii) Status relationship: There may be status and power relationship,
which may be hurdle in the communication process and affect
the effectiveness of communication. Status of people involve
in the communication also affects the communication. For

process. They are as follows.

(iii) Style
Style is the manner in which a thing is done. It involves many
element. Though style overlaps with several of the other factors in
analysis, it adds its own distinct flavour. A few barriers related to
style are as follows:
(a) Linguistic accent in oral exchanges are stylistic in nature. It
often affects people. For example, the accent of Bengalis is
different than that of people from North India.
(b) The form of expression (idiom) colours a transaction.
Suppose you use an idiom familiar in Andhra Pradesh,
but strange to someone from Shimla; the listener will be
distracted by the style - the use of strange expressions.
(c) The level of drama greatly affects a situation. People do not
react to highly dramatic situations as they do to subdued
ones.
(d) Types of humour also play a part in style. People not only
use varying styles of humour, they react differently to
different kinds of jokes and sometimes fail to convey the
proper message which is intended to be conveyed.
(e) The choice of brevity as opposed to full detail in a
presentation is also another element of style. Style can also
be reflected through the use of a direct approach rather than
an indirect one.
(f ) The choice of discriminatory or non-discriminatory
communication modes is another element of style. Symbols
can discriminate on the basis of sex, race, age, religion,
handicap, or other characteristics. Many people react
negatively to the discriminatory styles, whereas others,
regrettably, practically try to insist one to join them in
name-calling and sirs.
(g) The qualities of credibility and charisma override many
other aspects of style. Both the presence and the absence of
these qualities can affect the flow of communication.

(iv) Environment
Interferences may also arise from external transreceivers, number of
links in the chain and circumstantial factors:
(a) External trans-receivers: People often delegate to others such
acts as typewriting, drawing, photographing, listening, reading,
and taping. When one does so, he still remains responsible
for controlling such external processes. Evaluation has to be
done which has been transmitted or received by someone else.
Reliable people and equipment should be selected to accomplish
the communication-related tasks.
(b) Number of links in the chain: The major barriers to effective
communication lies in the number of links in the chain between
the sender and the ultimate receiver. Larger the chain, less is
the accuracy of message towards the end of the chain.
For example, when one person whispers, the whispered
chaining continues until the message moves from one to
another through all people in the circle. The last person to receive
the message states it aloud, and the originator orally compares
the final received message with the original message. The final
message usually bears little resemblance to the original. While
the destruction of a message can be fun at a party, it becomes
serious for purposive communication endeavours. Thus, efforts
are made to reduce the number of intermediate links. With
each added station, the chances of a message accomplishing its
purpose diminishes significantly.
(c) Circumstantial Factors: The same sort of differentiation in
circumstances counts for the channels within each of the
levels and, in broader terms, for the oral, written, and non-
verbal communication. For example, a speech delivered
before a small dinner gathering will be different from the
same speech delivered before an auditorium full of people.
Everyone is markedly different while sitting to watch cricket
match rather than a legal hearing. Still another circumstantial
feature a listener who has to stand because the seats are
all taken is generally not the same as he or she would be
if seated comfortably. A few circumstantial factors are:
Temperature, Lighting, Room size, Arrangement of seating
and equipment in a room, Voice qualities, Visual qualities,
Extent of participation, Distance between participants etc
etc.

Ans
Some of the methods to overcome the barriers to communication are
as below:
1. Minimize semantic problem: People use either the same word in
different ways or different words in the same way. By choosing
appropriate words according to their proper uses, we can
overcome semantic barrier in communication.
2. Organization policies: The organizations should make their
policies in such a way that it give full advantage to all members
of the organization. Policies should be flexible and easy to
implement. While organizations goal must be clear, everyone
must know about his position, his right in the organizational
communication. The network has to be fully developed so that
no such type of barriers exist.
Moreover, there should be consistency when a message
is passed from sender to receiver. One should not introduce his
own view in the message. It must be clear and understood by
everyone easily. Timeliness in message should be there. If it is
not passed in time, such messages will be of no use.
3. Accuracy: There should be accuracy in the message to be
transmitted between parties to the communication to improve
its effectiveness.
4. Clarity in message: The message to be transferred should be
clear, practical, accurate and without any ambiguity.
5. Avoid technical language: The specialized language should
be avoided. There should be all efforts to use the language
commonly understood by the receiver and sender of the message.
There should be least use of technical jargons in communication
process.
6. Maintaining good relationship: Strong relationships must be
maintained between the employer and the employee in order
to avoid misunderstanding and accept each others viewpoints
in order to remove the barriers and to facilitate proper
communication in the organization.
7. Co-ordination between superior and subordinates: In case
the superior thinks on one line, which is different from the
subordinate and vice versa, it will affect the effectiveness of
communication. Therefore, there should be good and proper

Professional communication
o
What do you know about professional communication?
rtu 2013
Ans
Professional Communication
The term professional communication refers to the various forms
of speaking, listening, writing, and responding carried out at the
workplace, whether in person or electronically. In todays professional
world, nothing happens without communication. It is communication
that propels the management process and serves as the lubricant
for its smooth operation. It helps professionals in their five major
managerial tasks, namely
1. Planning
2. Organizing
3. Executing
4. Staffing, and
5. Controlling
Since every organization is a social system that involves interaction
among people working at different levels, proper communication
among them becomes necessary for achieving the goals of an
organization. In a way, it is communication that defines the
existence of an organization in todays professional world. When
communication crumbles, the organized action comes to an end.
Communication thus is vital to the survival, sustenance, and growth
of an organization.
It is so because in a professional world, what professionals do
most of the time is to communicate. The necessity and importance of
communication skills can be assessed from the fact that professionals
spend nearly three-fourths of their working time in communicating
their ideas, views, and plans to others.

Ans
Communication in the professional world occupies a pivotal
position. Professional communication aims at achieving the following
objectives:
1. Advising
In any organization, a professional cannot have specialized knowledge
of all the branches such as licensing, taxation, publicity, engineering,
etc. To succeed in his/her job, he/she will have to seek frequent
advice from sub-ordinates or super-ordinates. A proper and timely
interaction with experts in the related areas helps the management
take wise steps and grow.
2. Counseling
Sometime an efficient and hard-working employee may become slow
and indifferent if he/she is facing personal problems at home. In such
situation, he/she is encouraged to consult the counselling department.
Through effective communication, employees and workers share their
concerns, solve their problems and thus are restored to their mental
and physical health.
3. Giving orders
Order is an authoritative communication. It is a directive to
a subordinate, to do something, to modify or alter the course of
something he/she is already doing, or not to do something. Orders
are absolutely essential in an organization, whatever be the nature
and size of the organization.
4. Providing instructions
Instruction is a particular type of order in which the subordinate is not
only ordered for a particular task, but also given guidance on how to
perform the task. All instructions are orders, but all orders need not
be instructions. Regardless of the fact that the management intends
to give instructions or issue orders, effectiveness in communication is
mandatory if the right impact is desired to be created.
5. Giving warnings
If employees do not abide by the norms of the organization or violate
rules, it may become necessary to warn them. Warning is a forceful

6. Raising morale
Morale stands for the mental health of all individuals and hence is
important for the growth of an organization. Morale can be maintained
only through effective communication among professionals. Morale
of people within the organization is a powerful and intangible
factor representing the sum of several qualities, such as courage,
determination, clarity, and confidence. It acts as a kind of lubricant
among people, binds them with a sense of togetherness, and impels
them to work in cooperation with one another in the best interest of
their organization.
7. Marketing
Effective communication is the key to effective marketing which
is a crucial factor to all businesses. Since the entire function of
marketing depends on communication. It is hard to imagine any
of its operations getting through without effective communication.
Some times companies hire consultants also for obtaining right
suggestions related to its various operational aspects. If not properly
communicated, suggestions can be turned down.
8. Staffing
Staffing is the process to hire professionals for an organization.
Communication is needed in the recruitment process to hire potential
employees for the enterprise. The recruits are told about the companys
organizational structure, its policies, and practices. This way, proper
communication helps the new entrants associate themselves with
the organization and utilize their potential effectively. This also
promotes proper delegation of work among employees. Thus, in such
situations too, communication helps in building a good image of an
organization.
9. Projecting image
Communication has a vital role in projecting the image of an

CHAPTER 9
Interpersonal communication
Ans
Interpersonal Communication
This type of communication happens directly in written or
orally between two or more persons. The oral form of this type
of communication, such as a dialogue or a conversation between
two or more people, is personal and direct, and permits maximum
interaction through words and gestures. Communication becomes
interpersonal to the extent that the people involved can see each
others uniqueness and can explain and predict each others behaviour
on the basis of uniqueness. The characteristics of the interpersonal
communication are as follows:
1. Uniqueness
Interpersonal communication is unique. It is different and becomes
more interpersonal as it takes the form of distinctive rules that develop
between the parties for communication. The more interpersonal the
relationship, the more uniqueness is found in the communication trends
and patterns. Standardized rules or conventions govern impersonal
situations. In these situations, we tend to label or stereotype the other
person, and then interact on that basis. We communicate according
to the rules for dealing with teachers, women, liberals,
intellectuals and so on. On the other hand, it is almost impossible to
use such labels if one knows someone interpersonally and communicates
with him or her on that level.
2. Irreplaceability
To the extent a relationship is unique, it is also irreplaceable. Suppose
that Mr. Ram Kumar takes Mr. Sureshs class in intermediate English.
If he begins to recommend English books and movies to Mr. Ram
Kumar because of his love for English, if they tell each other jokes
in English or share recipes for English foods, their relationship will

become increasingly unique. Mr. Kumar will not be like any other
student except Mr. Suresh, and Mr. Suresh will not be like any other
teacher except Mr. Kumar. This will also mean that the relationship
will become irreplaceable. While Mr. Kumar will have other teachers,
even other English teachers, and Mr. Suresh will have other students,
neither will have another relationship that is just like the one they
have together. This is nothing but irreplaceability of relationship.
3. Interdependence
In case of interpersonal relationship, the fate of the people involved
comes to be more connected. Sometimes this connection is a pleasure,
and sometimes it is a burden. But it is there, nevertheless. Consider
the possible relationship between Mr. Ram Kumar and Mr. Suresh,
Mr. Suresh might be pleased if another teacher of his class wins an
award in a state English competition, but he will feel overjoyed if Mr.
Kumar does. Mr. Kumar might not react.
4. Scarcity
In the case of interpersonal communication, most of our interactions
are impersonal. This fact isnt regrettable, really, but simply
practical. We may chat politely with our bus driver, our service
station attendant, and cur clerk at the bookstore, but we would
never get much done if we were trying to share unique thoughts and
feelings in order to develop interpersonal relationships with each of
those people.
5. Disclosure
The extent of interpersonal relationship is measured with respect to
the quantum of personal information, which the parties share with
each other. Generally, we do not speak about ourselves. We share our
thoughts and feelings when we have an interpersonal relationship.
Ans
First we discuss some important barriers to effective interpersonal
communication.
1. Stress and out-of-control emotion: When youre stressed or
emotionally overwhelmed, youre more likely to misread other
people, send confusing or off-putting nonverbal signals, and

(iii) Show your interest in whats being said. Nod occasionally, smile
at the person, and make sure your posture is open and inviting.
Encourage the speaker to continue with small verbal comments
like yes or uh huh.
(iv) Try to set aside judgment. In order to communicate effectively
with someone, you dont have to like them or agree with their
ideas, values, or opinions. However, you do need to set aside
your judgment and withhold blame and criticism in order to
fully understand a person.
(v) Provide feedback. If there seems to be a disconnect, reflect
what has been said by paraphrasing. What Im hearing is, or
Sounds like you are saying, are great ways to reflect back.

4. Assert yourself
Direct, assertive expression makes for clear communication and
can help boost self-esteem and decision-making. Being assertive
means expressing your thoughts, feelings, and needs in an open and
honest way, while standing up for yourself and respecting others.
It does not mean being hostile, aggressive, or demanding. Effective
communication is always about understanding the other person, not
about winning an argument or forcing your opinions on others. To
improve assertiveness:
(i) Value yourself and your opinions. They are as important as
anyone elses.
(ii) Know your needs and wants. Learn to express them without
infringing on the rights of others.
(iii) Express negative thoughts in a positive way. Its ok to be angry,
but you must be respectful as well.
(iv) Receive feedback positively. Accept compliments graciously,
learn from your mistakes, ask for help when needed.
(v) Learn to say no. Know your limits and dont let others take
advantage of you. Look for alternatives so everyone feels good
about the outcome.

Subject-verb agreement
Ans

twice, as in the great writer and the editor, then two distinct
persons are intended and the verb following must be in the
plural number. So, the correct sentence is

(ii) Expressions such as neither of the, either of the, one of the,
none of the which are generally followed by plural nouns,
normally takes singular verbs. So, the correct sentence is

(iii) Note that here the word innings is a singular noun, therefore
the subject of the sentence is also singular and correct form is
Their first innings was disappointing.
(iv)
According to subject verb-agreement, when two or more
subjects are connected by expressions such as besides, along
with, as well as, in addition to with etc., then the verb is
chosen according to the first subject. So, the correct sentence is

(i) Police is a direct object.
A direct object refers to a person or thing affected by an
action while an indirect object refers to a second object with a

or gets some thing as a result of it. For example,
The dog bit the boy. (Direct object)
He gave Peter a book. (Indirect object)
3. In the following sentences, select the verb form which you feel is

indivisible lot. So, the correct sentence is

CHAPTER 11
linking words
Conjunction Classes
The two main classes of conjunctions are co-ordinating and
subordinating conjunctions.
1. Co-ordinating Conjunction
When a sentence contains two independent statements or two
statements of equal rank or importance, use a co-ordinating
conjunction. This class includes and, but, for, or, nor, also, either...
or, neither...nor, and so on. They are of the following four types.
(i) Cumulative: It adds one statement to another:
They worked hard and they achieved the goal.
(ii) Adversative: It expresses the contrast between two statements:
She is weak but enthusiastic.
He would participate only if he is invited.
I am irked, yet I am quiet.
(iii) Disjunctive: It expresses the choice between two alternatives:
He must take medicines or he will die.
Either she is crazy or she is a fanatic.
Run fast, else you will not win.
(iv) Illative: It expresses an inference:
Somebody surely came in, for I heard the footstep.
All preemptive measures must have been neglected, for the
malaria spread rapidly.
2. Subordinating Conjunction
The Conjunction introducing a dependent or subordinate clause is
called subordinating conjunction. A subordinating conjunction joins
a clause to another on which it depends for its full meaning. These
are while, where, when, as, unless, before, till, although, though, that,
if, because, and after. Such conjunctions are further classified into

CHAPTER 12
Relative clauses
RELATIVE CLAUSES
A relative clause helps to identify or at times gives more information
about a noun or pronoun in a sentence. There are two broad types
of relative clauses discussed as below:
1. Defining/Restrictive clauses: We use a defining (or restrictive)
relative clause to identify or restrict the reference of a noun.
Defining relative clauses give essential information to define
or identify the person or thing we are talking about. We don
not separate it from the rest of the sentence by commas. If a
defining relative clause is removed, the meaning of the sentence
changes significantly. For example.
The woman who visited me in the hospital was very kind.
The umbrella that I bought last week is already broken.
2. Non-defining/Non-restrictive clauses: We use a non-defining
(or non-restrictive) relative clause to provide additional
information about the noun, whose identity or reference is
already established. A non-defining clause gives us more
information about the person or thing we are talking about.
If a non-defining relative clause is removed from a sentence,
we lose some detail, but the overall meaning of the sentence
remains the same. Non-defining relative clauses are always set
off from the rest of the sentence with commas or parentheses.
For example,
The farmer, whose name was Fred, sold us 10 pounds of
potatoes.
The author, who graduated from the same university I did,
gave a wonderful presentation.
Now we discuss both type of relative clauses in details.

Ans
(i) House implies a place, so we use the relative pronoun where.
The combined sentence is

(ii) The subject here is speech (thing), so we use the relative pronoun
that. The combined sentence is
The speech that prof. Tondon delivered was very informative.
(iii) Here also subject is a thing (plane), so we use the relative
pronoun that. The combined sentence is
The plane that crashed was not in a good condition.

2. Re-write the sentences so that they have the same meaning as the
original. You must use a relative clause.

(ii) Mary works in our office. Her husband is a plastic surgeon.]
(iii) Venice is a wonderful place. We spent our last holiday there.
(iv) He showed us how to create a computer-based game. It was
very interesting.
(v) Ive just finished reading Harry Potter and the Philosophers
Stone. It is an amazing book.
(vi) A detective is someone. He discovers the truth about crimes.

Ans
(i) Here noun house is a thing, so we use the relative pronoun
that. The combined sentence is

(ii) The second sentence here tells extra information about the
noun (Marry), so the type of relative clause is non-defining.
The combined sentence is
Marry, whose husband is a plastic surgeon, works in our office

(ii) Theyve sold the house. I wanted to buy it.
(iii) Helen has just arrived. She had a car accident.
(iv) Theyve sold the grocery. I used to go shopping there.
(v) My sister has won a DVD Player. Her children love watching
films.
(vi) A lion is an animal. It is very strong.
rtu 2013
Ans
(i) Here the subject (boy) is a person, so relative pronoun used will

Ans
A relative clause provides extra information about noun or pronoun.
Relative clauses are written using relative pronouns such as, who,
whom, why, where, that, which etc. Here the relative clauses are
(i) Who sits near me (noun-boy)
(ii) Who eat too much (noun-people)
(iii) Whom I saw (noun-boy)
(iv) You want (noun-book)
In sentence (iv), the relative pronoun that is omitted. The
actual sentence could be
Here is the book that you want.
That can be omitted when it is not the subject of the clause.

CHAPTER 13
Common errors
Ans
(i) We use the comparative (elder) and superlative (eldest) degrees
of old only to compare human beings, never for animals or
things. These degrees are always used for the members of same
family. Elder is never followed by than.
Older and oldest are used for both persons or things in
general. It is not necessary that the two persons belong to same
family. So the correct sentence is
She is older than my sister.

Ans
(i) Second form of verb (imagined) is not used with modal verb, so
the correct sentence is
We cannot imagine it.
(iii) With Let first form of verb must be used, so the correct
sentence is
Let her water the plant.
Ans
(i). The sentence is incorrect due to improper verb (are) used
according to subject-verb agreement. According to rule,
When two separate singular nouns are denoted through
coordinating conjunctions such as either... or and neither...nor,
the verb chosen is singular. However, when one of these nouns
is plural, the verb chosen is also plural and it is placed closer to
the plural noun. For example:

CHAPTER 17
Telephone etiquettes
Ans
In the business world, telephone conversations take place before the
actual meeting and also form an important part of many business
transactions and hence, it is essential to keep in mind certain things
while making and receiving calls.
Making a Call
1. It is wise to make a written note of things that you need to
convey to the person before making a call, lest you forget.
2. It is essential to identify yourself and your company first when
starting the conversation.
3. If your call was expected or planned prior, it is essential to make
the listener realize that, in brief, in case he/she has forgotten.
4. Tell the person the intention of your call in brief. If it is a
receptionist, it is still advised to explain the intention of your
call.
5. When talking to the required person, talk clearly, slowly and
precisely. It is embarrassing to be asked to repeat what you just
said.
6. Also, make proper and timely responses in the formal yes and
no manner. Never use the informal way of yeah and nope.
7. While ending the call, thank the person politely for his time.
Examples:
Good morning, this is (name) from (name of company).
Please may I speak with (name).
Hello, this is (name) from (name of company). I am returning
call from (name), is he available?

Receiving a Call
1. As hello is the proper way of starting a conversation, it is also
an appropriate form of greeting the caller while receiving calls.
2. You can even receive calls by identifying yourself and your
company.
3. It is advisable to try to answer business calls as pleasingly as
possible as the tone of the voice can be easily recognizable and
can make a great impression.
4. While receiving business calls, it is advisable to pay attention
and stop other activities like reading, talking to others, chewing
gum, attending other calls.
5. If inquired whether certain Mr. ABC is available or not, do not
reply with a curt no. The perfect answer should be I am sorry,
Mr. ABC is not available at this time, may I take a message?.
6. If a person is not available, it is better to convey the reason to
the caller briefly.
7. You should never hang up before the caller does so. Also,
be gracious in your goodbyes as that can help in future
communications.
Examples:
Thank you for calling (name of the company). This is (name),
how may I help you?
Hello, (name) speaking.
(The callers name), will you hold while I look for information/
person?
Thank you for calling.
Ans
For most types of businesses the telephone plays a major part in daily
operations. This is because businesses need them in order to call out
and contact vendors, business associates, and clients or customers.
They are also valuable in that they open a door of communication
with customers by allowing them to contact the business at any time
during its hours of operation. As important as the phone is, it is just
as important that businesses know the difference between what is
good and what is bad phone etiquette.

They must understand that how they interact with clients and
business associates over the phone will either portray them in a
positive light or a negative one. In the hands of a poorly trained
employee, manager, or business owner, telephone use can have
an extreme negative effect on the business. For this reason, it is
important that companies properly train their employees on good
and bad phone practices.
