How Words Can Fail
You:
1. Your words have
different denotative
and connotative
meanings
2. Your word has multiple
meanings
3. The words meaning
has changed
4. The word is imprecise
5. The word is inaccurate
6. The word is
inappropriate
Symbolism
• People send signals to each other
with nonverbal and verbal
communication.
• We interpret symbols and apply our
own meaning to them.
• Using symbols can cause confusion
• People don’t use the same symbols
or agree on the same symbols.
• When you put ideas into words,
you encode.
• When your listener translates
your words into ideas, you
decode.

Other Factors That Influence Communication
• While sending and receiving
messages orally you also are
perceiving the context of the
message mentally.
Terms to Know
• Attribution: People attempt to
explain the motivation of
someone’s behavior.
• Physical Limits: Even if your
vision and hearing are perfect
you can’t perceive all data
around you.
• The Familiar: If the Stimuli
aren’t strong enough to be
noticed or difficult to
organize, you may not be
able to interpret them.
