NATURE AND ELEMENTS
OF COMMUNICATION
•ACTIVITY 1
•Choose an object inside the room to
which you can compare
communication. Be creative with your
answer.
Definition of Communication
A. Etymological meaning of
communication
Latin words “communis”
(noun) and communicare
(verb) which means
commonality and to make
common respectively
OTHER MEANING
A process - dynamic in nature
rather than static
-not merely transmission of
message but the correct
interpretation and
understanding of message
Communication - verbal (written, oral)
& non-verbal, (paralanguage, visual)
Elements of Communication
1. Sender/Speaker
-person who intends to convey the message with the intention of passing information and ideas to
others

2. Ideas/Message
- the subject matter of the communication. This may be an opinion, attitude, feelings, views,
orders, or suggestions.
3. Encoding
-the process of converting the message into words, actions, or other forms that the
speaker understands.
-Since the subject matter of communication is theoretical and intangible, its further passing
requires use of certain symbols such as words, actions or pictures etc.
Conversion of subject matter into these symbols is the process of encoding.

4. Communication Channel
-the medium or the means in which the encoded message is conveyed.
- may be either formal or informal.
-Channel Categories: verbal, non-verbal, personal, non-personal, etc.
-A channel could be the paper on which words are written, the Internet acting in the
client-server model or Power point that is allowing you to read these words right
now.
5. Receiver:
-the recipient of the message, or someone who decodes the message.
-the person who receives the message or for whom the message is meant for.
- one who tries to understand the message in the best possible manner in achieving the desired
objectives.

6. Decoding:
-the process of interpreting or conversion of the message or symbol from the communicator in
such a way that he/she may extract its meaning to his/her complete understanding.
7. Feedback:
-the reactions, responses, or information provided by the receiver.
-the process of ensuring that the receiver has received the message and understood in the
same sense as sender meant it.

8. Context
-the environment where communication takes place.
-simply the environment in which your message is delivered.
e.g. boardroom meeting, two people having a dialogue, restaurant, students borrowing
books from the library etc. Needless to say, context can easily make or break the
effectiveness of communication.
7. Barrier:
- the factors that affect the flow of communication

Process of Communication

The speaker generates an idea.

The speaker transmits or sends out a message.

The receiver gets the message.

The receiver decodes or interprets the message based on the context.

The receiver sends or provides feedback.

COMMUNICATION MODEL
A. Linear Model
•sender encodes a message via a channel
and the message is decoded by the
receiver
•straight-line communication
•no means for immediate feedback
e.g. television, radio, newspapers, etc.
1. Shannon-Weaver Model-

• mother of all communication models (1949)


• linear or one-way process consisting of five
elements: a source (producer of message); a
transmitter (encoder of message into signals); a
channel (signals adapted for transmission); a
receiver (decoder of message from the signal);
and a destination.
• criticized for missing one essential element in
the communication process: feedback.
2. Lasswell’s Model
• act of communication by defining
who said it, what was said, in what
channel it was said, to whom it was
said, and with what effect it was
said.
3. Aristotle’s Model
• divided into five elements (source,
transmitter, channel, receiver,
destination). The speaker is the most
important element, making this model
a speaker-oriented model.
4. Berlo’s S-M-C-R Model-

•represents the process of


communication in its simplest
form. The acronym stands for
Sender, Message, Channel and
Receiver.
B. Transaction Model-
• two- way process with the inclusion of feedback as
one element.

• Key Points:
*The sender and the receiver take turns in sending or receiving
messages.
*Both sender and receiver are known as communicators.
* Mostly used for interpersonal communication.
*Also called circular model of communication.
1. Barlund’s Transactional Model-

• proposed that giving and receiving


messages is reciprocal which means
that both communicators (the sender
and the receiver) are responsible of the
effect and effectiveness of the
communication.
2. Helical Model-
• Communication is supposed to be
continuous and non-repetitive. It is
always growing and accumulative.
It was proposed by Frank Dance in
1967 and was inspired by a helix
3. Becker’s Mosaic Model-
• Sam Becker in 1968
• explains the complexity of human
communication as a dynamic process
• believed to reduce the limitations of the linear
models
• stresses the meaning of messages and was
inspired by Marshall McLuhan’s views and
metaphors of television as a collection of light
and dark spots.
C. Interactive Model
• similar to transactional model as they are
both two-way communication model but it
is mostly used for a new media like
internet. People can respond to any mass
communications like videos, news, etc.
People can exchange views and ideas.
The interactive model the sender and the receiver exchange ideas,
messages and information within physical and psychological contexts.

The interactive non-verbal and verbal communicatios occur


between humans and machines in a give and take manner.
Barriers to Communication

• Miscommunication and
misunderstanding occur at times
because of certain barriers.
• Recognizing these barriers will enable
you to control the situation, reset
conditions and start anew
