Linear Model of Communication

The linear model of communication describes the basic process of communication between a sender and receiver. It involves a sender conveying a message through a communication channel to a receiver. Different channels like email, phone calls, and in-person interactions each have their own sources of "noise" or distractions that can interfere with the clarity of the message. While this model can apply to many situations, it is most accurate for describing online communication like email where there is no immediate feedback between parties.

linear model of communication

The linear communication model is a basic representation of how people communicate with each
other. It involves two people, the sender and the receiver. The sender conveys a piece of
information, called the "message" to the receiver by any channel of communication. Different
channels of communication are email, face-to-face, and over the phone. Every channel of
communication is susceptible to a different kind of "noise", or distraction, such as a pop-up add, or
poor cell-phone reception. The noise is not necessarily auditory, it is anything that reduces the clarity
of the message.

This model can be applied to many situations, but it is most accurately applied to online
communication. The main reason is that channels of communication like email do not allow for
immediate feedback.

Example: You, the sender, send an email, the channel of communication, about earning extra credit,
the message, to your teacher, the recipient. Your poor grammar, noise, makes it harder for your
teacher to understand your message.

Communication:
communication refers to any process used to get a message across, from one individual or
group to another.

The communication model:


Communication is one of those words that is bandied about, but often people are
not

sure what it really means. There are many different ways of describing

communication. To make sure we’re all focusing on the same thing, we will refer to
communication in terms of the following models of one and two way
communication.

Transactional communication:

Description
In the transactional model, two people communicate with multiple messages through what
may be multiple channels and with parallel messages.
As with other models, the messages may be distorted and the people may be distracted,
resulting in misunderstanding that fuels and hinders the model.

Example
Hi there!

Well hello, how are you?

What are you up to, today?

I'm just going to work. What about you?

Discussion
We often speak in a transactional way, where we exchange messages. In doing so we may
also be exchanging value to one another, for example in a greeting where each person
gives the other a sense of comfort through a defined transactional ritual.
The actual transaction can be highly dependent on context. For example the transactions
between people at home is often quite different between those at work or on the street.
