''Communication Source'' combines ''Communication and Mass Media Complete'' and ''Communication Abstracts'' to provide full-text access to more than 700 journals, and indexing and abstracting for more than 1,000 core journals. Coverage dating goes back to 1900. Content is derived from academic journals, conference papers, conference proceedings, trade publications, magazines and periodicals. A transmitter can be either a device, for example, an antenna, or a human transmitter, for example, a speaker. The word "transmitter" derives from an emitter, that is to say, that emits using the Hertzian waves. In sending mail it also refers to the person or organization that sends a letter and whose address is written on the envelope of the letter. In finance, an issuer can be, for example, the bank system of elements. In education, an issuer is any person or thing that gives knowledge to the student, for example, the professor. For communication to be effective, the sender and receiver must share the same code. In ordinary communication, the sender and receiver roles are usually interchangeable. Depending on the language's functions, the issuer fulfills the expressive or emotional function, in which feelings, emotions, and opinions are manifested, such as The way is dangerous.
