Study Notes
Language
- Language is a system of rules (grammar), sounds (phonology), and vocabulary (lexicon).
- Language is arbitrary; symbols don't inherently correspond to the objects or ideas they represent.
- Speakers in a community share the same language rules.
- Language acquisition occurs through exposure and shared community.
- First language is acquired naturally and second languages are learned.
- Language change results from language contact.
Communication Process
- Communication is transmitting ideas, thoughts, and feelings.
- The process involves the sender, message, channel, and receiver.
- Communication is cyclic and dynamic, affected by many variables, including feedback.
- Elements of communication include: people (sender/receiver), message/code, channel, noise, and feedback.
Types of Communication
- Mode:
- Verbal (written or spoken)
- Non-verbal (gestures, facial expressions, body language)
- Visual (symbols, pictures)
- Other modes (e.g., face-to-face, video, audio, text-based).
- Context:
- Intrapersonal (self-talk)
- Interpersonal (between people)
- Extended (involves media)
- Organizational (in workplaces)
- Intercultural (between people of different cultures)
- Purpose and Style:
- Formal (e.g., lectures, business letters)
- Informal (e.g., conversations with friends)
Communication Models
- Linear Model: One-way process from sender to receiver (Aristotle Model.)
- Interactive Model: Two-way process with feedback, includes receiver's field of experience (Shannon Weaver Model, Berlo Model.)
- Transactional Model: Dynamic and simultaneous exchange of messages between communicators; time element and multiple simultaneous message senders (Transactional Model.)
Principles of Effective Communication

- Deliver messages effectively based on the given context.
