COMMUNICATION Claire Singson
MELC: Differentiates the various
models of communication
At the end of the lesson, you will be able to:
a) Distinguish the various models of communication;
b) Explain the process of communication through the
elements involved; and,
c) Recognize the importance of the models in understanding
the communication process as applied in everyday life.
WHAT IS A MODEL?
A model is widely used to depict any idea, thought
or a concept in a simpler way through diagrams,
pictorial representations etc.
LINEAR COMMUNICATION
type of communication where
someone sends a message
WITHOUT getting any feedback
from the receiver of the message
ARISTOTLE’S MODEL OF COMMUNICATION
Aristotle argues we should look at five elements
of a communication event to analyze how best to
communicate: speaker, speech, occasion,
target audience and effect. He also identified
three elements that will improve communication:
ethos (credibility), pathos (ability to connect)
and logos (logical argument). Aristotle’s model
does not pay attention to the role of feedback in
communication.
SHANNON-WEAVER’S MODEL OF COMMUNICATION
continuous exchange of
information where both the sender
and receiver are involved in the
process and TAKE TURNS to
communicate messages.
TRANSACTIONAL MODEL OF COMMUNICATION
BARNLUND’S TRANSACTIONAL MODEL
Barnlund’s Transactional Model of Communication is
a model that explores interpersonal, immediate-
feedback communication. Central to this approach is
the idea that feedback for the sender is the reply for
the receiver.
This model also highlights the role of ‘cues’ in
impacting our messages. Barnlund highlights the role
of public cues which are environmental cues,
and private cues which are a person’s personal
thoughts and background. With this emphasis on
cues, Barnlund’s model highlights the factors that
influence what we think and say.
Dance’s Helical Model builds on circular models by
explaining how we improve our messages over time
by using feedback. When we communicate with others,
their feedback will influence our next statement.
We become more knowledgeable with each cycle of
communication, enabling up to ‘expand our circle’, as
represented by the increasingly wider and wider circles.
The movement up the spiral indicates that each
communication practice is new and different from the
previous, as communication does not ever perfectly
repeat itself.
