Study Notes
Aristotle's Communication Model
- Emphasizes the relationship between the speaker, message, and audience.
- Diagram representation: Speaker → Message → Audience.
- Advantages include clarity and simplicity, highlighting the speaker's importance in communication.
- Disadvantages are its one-way nature and lack of feedback mechanisms.
- Example: A politician delivering a speech aimed at swaying voter opinions.
Lasswell's Model
- Defines communication with the formula: "Who says What, in Which channel, to Whom, and with What effect."
- Diagram representation: Who → What → Channel → Whom → Effect.
- Advantages stem from its straightforwardness and demonstration of message impact.
- Disadvantages include omission of feedback loops and noise interference in communication.
- Example: A television advertisement (Who) marketing a product (What) on TV (Channel) directed at consumers (Whom) to boost sales (Effect).
Shannon & Weaver Model
- Centers on the transmission of information while considering noise as an interference factor.
- Diagram representation: Sender → Encoder → Channel (Noise) → Decoder → Receiver.
- Advantages include illustrating how noise can disrupt communication.
- Disadvantages relate to its linear structure and lack of feedback elements.
- Example: A phone conversation hampered by poor reception (Noise) leading to misunderstandings.
Berlo's SMCR Model
- Breaks down communication into four components: Source, Message, Channel, and Receiver.
- Diagram representation: Source → Message → Channel → Receiver.
- Advantages focus on the distinct elements involved in the communication process.
- Disadvantages highlight the absence of feedback and noise considerations.
- Example: A teacher (Source) delivering a lecture (Message) using a PowerPoint presentation (Channel) to students (Receiver).
