Roman Jakobson defined six functions of language (or communication functions), according to which an effective act of verbal communication can be described.[1] Each of the functions has an associated factor. For this work, Jakobson was influenced by Karl Bühler's Organon-Model, to which he added the poetic, phatic and metalingual functions.
