Abstract
An ideal communication system will consist of five components : source, transmitter,
channel, receiver and destination. Communication takes place when a source
of information transmits signals over a channel to a receiver at the destinaton. The
process of transforming messages that are originated in the source into signals is
called "encoding". This process is carried out by the transformer. These signals
travel through the channel and reach the receiver at the destination. The receiver
transforms these signals into the original forms of the message and this process is
called "decoding". Encoding and decoding in speech pre-requisite knowledge of the
code, of the levels, the possible units and the laws of combination of units; on the
part of the speaker and the listener
