Verbal communication is the use of words and language in order to provoke a meaning in others.
All of the words in our language mean something. Somewhere along the way, someone assigned that word to the idea or thing that it represents. Once that word has been established, we need to stabilize it as the symbol of that thing. That means that all the individuals in that given community must recognize that symbol as representing that certain thing. A convention is a rule that people of a community agree to follow.
