# Intercambio de mensajes entre dos o más personas ## Lo que vivimos ### Desarrollo This reading will help you understand how learning progressions can be applied in your context. Read the following text carefully and highlight anything that you find interesting. ## Modelo de comunicación y las funciones del lenguaje Have you ever tried to express an idea, but people understood something else? Have you ever written a message that you felt was correct, but you ended up with a negative result? This happens when communication is not effective, and it can be improved by learning about the elements of the communication model, and by understanding the various functions of language. Here are concepts you will find interesting. ### Modelo de comunicación Roman Jakobson (1896-1982), a linguist and scholar of Russian literature, published an essay titled "Linguistics and Poetics" in which he presented a model of communication as a process for specific purposes, defined by six elements: 1. **Emisor o destinador.** The person who, in the first instance, wants to communicate something and tries, using linguistic skills, to find the way to communicate effectively so the recipient receives the message efficiently. 2. **Receptor o destinatario.** The person who receives a message sent by a sender. Their main goal is to understand the message that has been sent to carry out an action or give an answer. For the sender and the receiver to understand each other, they need to share the same code (language) and communicate in a context and channel that allows the message to be clear. 3. **Mensaje.** A message is a set of ideas or feelings, expressed in encoded text, that a sender sends to a recipient so that it can be understood effectively. They are formed using a language, that is, a code (alphabet, emoticons, mathematical symbols, etc) that should be understood by both the sender and the receiver. If this is not the case, the message will not be decoded and understood. For example, if you receive a handwritten message, and the writing is not legible or the handwriting is not clear, you will not be able to understand the message correctly, even if you understand the language, and the sender will not have reached their objective. Another example is when two people try to communicate in different languages. We are constantly encoding and decoding messages, so we are always acting as sender and receiver in the communication model, and this is called **feedback**.
