Study Notes
Communication Basics
- In the context of communication, codes refer to the set of rules or guidelines that govern the transmission of information from a sender to a receiver.
Understanding Messages
- For a receiver to understand a message, they must be familiar with the code or language used to convey the information.
Conventions in Communication
- Conventions in the context of communication refer to the established norms, rules, or practices that govern the way messages are transmitted and received.
The Shannon-Weaver Model
- In the Shannon-Weaver model of communication, the sender plays a crucial role in initiating the communication process by transmitting information to the receiver.
- In the given example, the sender can be a person, group, or entity that initiates the communication process.
Noise and the Sender
- Noise, which refers to any external or internal interference, can impact the role of the sender by distorting or altering the original message, making it difficult for the receiver to understand.
Sender's Functions
- The primary function of the sender in communication is to transmit information to the receiver.
- According to the Shannon and Weaver model, the sender has three key functions:
- Information source: generating the information to be transmitted.
- Encoder: converting the information into a code or language that can be understood by the receiver.
- Transmitter: sending the coded message through a channel to the receiver.
