Communication is the process in which information, feelings, ideas and emotions are conveyed or relayed from one person to another. It may be verbal, non-verbal or written. Communication involves both transference and understanding of meaning. It is only when meaning is transmitted from one person to another that information and ideas can be conveyed. Meaning is not just transmitted but also understood.
