Oral Communication: Sociological, Linguistic, and Psychological Aspects
Description
The functioning of human societies is possible thanks to communication. This consists of the exchange of messages between individuals. Human beings have a brain and psychological structure that allows them to be able to communicate not only in their mother tongue, but also in different languages. The sociocultural, linguistic and psychological aspects of oral communication are therefore essential to know everything that human thought carries and to be able to develop communication skills that help us achieve success (professional, academic or personal).
