The environment and surrounding factors that influence the message's meaning.

An ancient communication model focused on improving communication abilities. It analyzes five elements: speaker, speech, occasion, audience, and effect. It also emphasizes three key elements for effective communication: ethos (credibility), pathos (emotional connection), and logos (logical argument).

A linear communication model that analyzes communication by breaking down its components: communicator, message, channel, audience, and effect. It helps understand the flow of information from a sender to a receiver.

Communication models that focus on one-way communication, where information flows from a sender to a receiver without immediate feedback. These models are like a one-way street where the message travels in a single direction.

Communication models that acknowledge two-way communication, where messages flow back and forth between the sender and receiver. They emphasize the importance of feedback in the communication process.

Communication models that see communication as a complex interplay of factors, including context, relationships, and shared meanings. They explain the dynamic nature of communication where the message evolves as the interaction progresses

The credibility or authority of the communicator. It refers to the speaker's character, expertise, and trustworthiness, which influence the audience's perception of their message.

The emotional appeal of a message. It refers to the speaker's ability to connect with the audience's emotions and values, creating an emotional response to the message.

The logical argument or reasoning used in a message. It refers to the speaker's use of evidence, facts, and logic to support their claims and persuade the audience.

A model focusing on the communication process as a chain: sender, encoder, channel, decoder, receiver. It highlights 'noise' that can disrupt the message.

A model that breaks down communication in four steps: Source, Message, Channel, and Receiver. It examines factors within each step that influence effectiveness.

'Noise' refers to any interference or disruption that can alter a message during its transmission, encoding, or decoding. This can be physical (static), psychological (distractions), or even cultural.

The primary elements are the Source (sender), Message (content), Channel (how it's delivered), and Receiver (audience). Each element has factors that can affect communication effectiveness.

The model investigates: Who created the message? What was the message's content? Through which channel was it sent? To whom was it sent? What effect did it have on the receiver?

Shannon-Weaver focuses on the technical process of communication and 'noise' as interference. Berlo's S-M-C-R emphasizes the factors within each element (Source, Message, Channel, Receiver) that influence communication success.

Communication models provide frameworks to analyze and understand how messages are created, transmitted, and received. This knowledge helps improve communication effectiveness, address barriers, and tailor messages for different audiences.
