This document discusses oral communication and its characteristics. It defines oral communication as communication between two or more people using a shared language or code transmitted through physical means, traditionally air but now also phone or videoconference. It notes that oral communication allows transmitting information, ideas, feelings and opinions to others. The document also discusses breathing, its types and exercises. Finally, it covers intonation and diction in oral communication. Intonation refers to variations in pitch when pronouncing syllables to communicate content. Diction refers to an individual's way of using and constructing words and sentences.

2. ORAL
COMMUNICATION
Characteristics.
Natural capacity. In oral communication,
the production of messages requires the
intervention of the lungs and vocal cords
for the emission of sounds. Thus, the
possibility of the human being to
communicate orally is a natural ability.
Bidirectionality. All oral communication
needs at least one transmitter (or
encoder) and one receiver (or decoder).
Generally, in the process both intersperse
roles taking turns to occupy these
positions.
Informal context. Due to the fleeting
nature of their character, in most cases,
conversations cannot be verified as long
as they do not leave records.
Diversity Reflection. There is no single
way of speaking, even among those who
handle the same language. In this way,
oral communication can reflect social,
linguistic and even geographic diversity.
Definition.
Oral communication is one that is
established between two or more people
using a language or code shared through
a means of physical transmission, which
was traditionally the air, although today
we can add the phone or
videoconference.
Oral communication allows us to transmit
the person with whom we speak
information, ideas, feelings, emotions,
beliefs, opinions, attitudes, etc.

3. Vices.
Tag. Habit of systematically and
unconsciously repeating a word, phrase
or sentence.
For example: When I went out to the
patio, that is, to the pool, he was there,
that is, I found him, that is, we met ...
Cosism It is a vice of construction that
consists in abusing the use of the word
"thing", due to poverty of vocabulary.
For example: Altruism is a rare thing.
Barbarism. This vice consists in
pronouncing the words badly or in
using improper words. It is also abuse
with foreign words.
For example: It's ok. (It's okay).
Idiom. It is a way of speaking contrary
to grammar rules.
For example: The program's
reachability leaves much to be desired.
(The reaching).

4. BREATHIN
G
Breathing is a biological process typical
of living beings, whose objective is to
keep their organism active (therefore,
alive) through the exchange of carbon
dioxide for oxygen.
Breathing is commonly known as the
process by which we inhale air, but that
is only the manifestation of the
respiratory system whose process is
even more complex, where the real
beneficiaries are the cells of organisms,
in the so-called cellular respiration.
Types.
1. SLOW AND DEEP BREATHING. It is important
that we get used to breathing through the nose,
since in this way toxic substances that spread
through the air are filtered and the immune
system is reinforced. This kind of breathing has
enormous benefits in physical, mental and
emotional health.
2. HEALING BREATH. A deep inspiration causes
the diaphragm to contract and lower towards the
abdomen. The exhalation is very soft. This
breathing becomes a kind of revitalizing massage
of the esophagus, stomach, large and small
intestine, kidneys, pancreas, gallbladder, spleen
and urinary tract.
3. DETOXIFICANT BREATHING. There is also
another type of respiration with purifying
properties of toxins and negative energies. This
cleaning is done by inhaling through the nose and

5. Exercises
1. Deep breath. The easiest exercise to
perform from those presented here.
Basically it serves to calm down after a
situation of stress or effort. It is based on
taking air through the nose, keeping it in
the lungs and finally releasing it gently
through the mouth. Each of the steps
should last about four seconds.
2. Full breath. This type of breathing
combines in a single technique deep and
abdominal breathing. The process begins
with the expulsion of all the air from the
lungs. We proceed gently and deeply to
first fill the abdomen, to continue inhaling
to fill the lungs and chest in the same
inhalation. The air is maintained for a few
seconds and then the chest is expelled
orally and slowly first and then the
abdomen.
3. Diaphragmatic / abdominal breathing.
This exercise is also very simple. It is
similar to the previous one, but in this case
the breathing will be abdominal. To carry it
out, you need a place where you can be
comfortable, preferably sitting or lying
down. First of all it is inspired by the nasal
route for about four seconds, keeping the
air inside for a few seconds and gently
expelling it through the mouth. Long
inspirations are required, a high volume of
air entering the body.
By putting one hand on the stomach and
the other on the chest it is possible to
check if the air is being carried correctly to
the intended areas. The chest hand should
not move when inhaling, while the air
should be felt filling the belly.
This training causes parasympathetic
control and decreased heart rate. It is
recommended to try to generalize and
automate this type of breathing in order to

6. THE
INTONATION.The intonation is the variation in the
succession of heights or frequencies when
pronouncing the syllables that make up
the words that constitute the sentence,
being linked to the content that is to be
communicated. With the intonation
variants the vocal cords vibrate differently
in terms of their frequency.
When we enunciate, the intonation goes
up to the first accentuated syllable, then
stays almost at the same height, and goes
down from the last tonic syllable, in a
sudden way. If in the statement several
phonic groups are distinguished (each
phonic group is distinguished as it
develops between pauses) they all raise
the tone from their final syllable, except
for the last one, where the tone decreases
from the last stressed syllable. Something
When interrogated, the intonation
rises to the first stressed syllable,
then descends to the final tonic
syllable and then again rises to the
end.

7. DICTION.
The way of expressing a person has is
known as diction. This term is linked to the
way each individual uses words and,
therefore, forms sentences.
It is possible to rate the different
constructions as successful as they are
according to the norms of the language.
When the construction is correct, one
speaks of good diction. The opposite
derives in a bad diction.
It is important to keep in mind that the
qualification of the diction as good or bad
does not have to do with the meaning that
the person wants to convey, nor with the
contents that he intends to express.
Diction, on the other hand, is also linked to
the way words are pronounced. When a
man pronounces each term clearly, he
correctly emphasizes and uses the
appropriate pauses within each sentence, it
can be said that he has good diction. Since
it is easy to understand who is expressed
in this way, it is also indicated that the
