Transactional semantics is concerned with the individual’s thoughts, feelings, and behavior as they relate to reaction, interaction, and transaction through verbal and nonverbal language, and emphasizes the “transactional whole” of communication. It utilizes syntactics, semantics, pragmatics, general semantics, and incorporates the concept of “transaction in process,” while recognizing the organized patterned communicative processes that surround and influence the individual.
