    Communication Models

    Aristotle’s Model of Communication

    • Developed in 300 BC by Greek philosopher Aristotle, focusing on persuasive communication.
    • 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.
