- Key components: Speaker, Speech, Audience, and Effect.
- The speaker is the most important element, responsible for crafting effective messages.
- Strengths include emphasis on persuasion and ease of understanding.
- Limitations include being a linear model and not accounting for feedback or context.
- Practical for public speaking and crafting persuasive messages.
Osgood-Schramm’s Model of Communication
- Created in 1954 by Charles Osgood and Wilbur Schramm, highlighting communication as a circular process.
- Components include Encoder/Decoder, Message, Interpreter, and Feedback.
- Emphasizes the interactive nature of communication and continuous feedback.
- Strengths are its recognition of feedback and dynamic communication.
- Limitations include assumptions of perfect understanding and potential oversimplification.
- Useful in dialogues and negotiations requiring interaction.
Shannon-Weaver’s Model of Communication
- Developed in 1948 by Claude Shannon and Warren Weaver, initially for technical communication.
- Components include Information Source, Encoder, Channel, Noise, Decoder, and Destination.
- Highlights the importance of noise as a disruptor and provides a clear structure.
- Strengths include clarity and versatility, applicable to various communication forms.
- Limitations involve its linear view and not fully representing human communication complexities.
- Stages include Symbolizing, Expressing, Transmitting, Receiving, Decoding, Feedbacking, and Monitoring.
Public Speaking
- Defined as a formal process of conveying purposeful information to an audience.
- Aims to influence listeners through structured presentation.
