Study Notes
Definition of Communication Model
- Communication models visually represent the abstract process of communication between interlocutors.
- They help to understand how messages are exchanged and processed.
Types of Communication Models According to Structure
Linear Model
- Depicts communication as a straight line involving the sender, message, channel, and receiver.
- Emphasizes the sender and message; the receiver plays a passive role without feedback.
Examples of the Linear Model
-
Aristotle's Model:
- Speaker-centered, focusing on credibility (ethos), emotional connection (pathos), and logic (logos).
- Common in public speaking scenarios.
-
Laswell's Model:
- Utilizes a sender-receiver structure, often applied in public relations.
- Elements include the communicator (WHO), message content (SAYS WHAT), medium (IN WHAT CHANNEL), receiver (TO WHOM), and the outcome (IN WHAT EFFECT).
-
Shannon-Weaver's Model:
- Introduces noise as a disruptive factor that can distort messages during communication.
- Highlights an interactive aspect in communication.
-
Berlo's Model:
- Emphasizes the influence of external factors such as communication skills and context on the communication process.
Interactive Model
- Involves a reciprocal exchange where senders and receivers communicate and provide feedback.
- Both interlocutors alternate roles as sender and receiver.
Example of Interactive Model
-
Schramm’s Model:
- Focuses on the overlap of the fields of experience between communicators, allowing for effective communication.
- Components include sender (encoder), message, receiver (decoder), feedback, medium, and noise.
Transactional Model
- Represents communication as a simultaneous exchange of messages, rather than a sequential process.
- Considers relational, physical, and psychological contexts as part of communication dynamics.
Examples of Transactional Model
-
Barnlund’s Transactional Model:
- Highlights the impact of public and private cues on the messages exchanged.
-
Dance’s Helical Model:
- Views communication as a complex and evolving circular process, illustrated as a helical spiral.
