Study Notes
What is a Communication Model?
- A communication model is a pictorial representation of the communication process, ideas, thoughts, or concepts through diagrams.
- It helps us understand how communication can be carried out and consists of systematic representations of the process.
Importance of Communication Models
- Understanding models of communication can help optimize communication channels, work on past mistakes, and plan efficiently in the future.
Basic Models of Communication
- The Transmission Model (1949) is also known as the Standard View of Communication and is a linear model of communication.
- It was developed by Claude Shannon and Warren Weaver.
Aristotle's Model of Communication
- Aristotle's model consists of 5 main elements: speaker, speech, occasion, target audience, and effect.
- These elements make up the framework of the communication process.
Berlo's Model of Communication
- Berlo's model explains communication in four steps: source, message, channel, and receiver.
- The elements included in the source are the sender's communication skills, attitude, and culture.
- The elements included in the message are the content, structure, and code of the message.
- The elements included in the channel are the senses of hearing, seeing, touching, smelling, etc.
- The elements of the receiver are their attitude, knowledge, and culture.
Pros and Cons of Linear Communication Models
- Pros: highly impactful, good at audience persuasion, simplicity, and quantifiability.
- Cons: three levels of problems for communication, including the technical problem, semantic problem, and effectiveness problem.
Critique of the Transmission Model
- Daniel Chandler critiques the transmission model by stating it assumes communicators are isolated individuals and does not allow for differing purposes.
Lasswell's Model of Communication
- Lasswell's model attempts to understand a communication event by asking five important questions: who, what, which channel, to whom, and what effect.
- This model was created to understand how to become a more effective and persuasive communicator.
Shannon-Weaver Model
- The Shannon-Weaver model considers communication to occur in five parts: sender, encoder, channel, decoder, and receiver.
- It stresses the importance of encoding and decoding messages for them to be transmitted and acknowledges the existence of noise in communication that could disrupt or alter a message.
