The communication channels are kept open by

(A) Removing regulations

(B) Proactive access

(C) Phatic function

(D) Emotive function 

Correct Ans: (C)

Explanation:

Communication channels remain open through the phatic function, which helps sustain social interactions. Unlike informational or persuasive communication, this function focuses on maintaining relationships rather than conveying new ideas. Everyday greetings, small talk, and casual exchanges serve this purpose.

For example, phrases like โ€œHow are you?โ€, โ€œNice to see youโ€, or โ€œHope youโ€™re doing wellโ€ may not carry significant information but help establish and maintain contact. These exchanges ensure that communication remains smooth and uninterrupted, which is essential in both personal and professional settings.

Additionally, the phatic function plays a key role in media and digital communication. Social media interactions, such as likes, comments, and emojis, help users stay connected, even when no meaningful information is exchanged. Similarly, in broadcasting, anchors use phrases like โ€œStay with usโ€ or โ€œWeโ€™ll be right backโ€ to keep the audience engaged.

Moreover, organizations and public relations teams rely on this function to create goodwill and enhance interpersonal connections. Regular check-ins, team meetings, and informal conversations help build strong professional networks.

In conclusion, the phatic function ensures that communication flows effortlessly by maintaining social bonds and engagement. By keeping channels open, it supports effective interaction, fosters relationships, and enhances connectivity in various communication settings.
