Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Communication involves a sender who creates a message and a receiver who receives and interprets that message. Without these two elements, communication cannot occur. While phonology, morphology, and semantics are components of language, they are not necessary for all forms of communication. Choice B is incorrect because it implies that signals must be arbitrary, which is not always the case. Choice D is incorrect because it conflates the roles of messenger and speaker.
