Lesson 1:: Language and Communication

The three models of communication are: 1) Linear model - a straightforward transmission of messages from sender to receiver 2) Interactive model - a two-way process with exchange and interaction between sender and receiver 3) Transactional model - both communicators can send and receive messages; it depicts communication as dynamic and varying over time. The linear model is the simplest representation while the transactional model most accurately portrays real-world communication as an ongoing, two-way process influenced by external factors.

LESSON 1:

LANGUAGE AND
COMMUNICATION
Language is a human-specific activity that
allows an individual to transmit and to
express his/her feelings, ideas, and opinions
from one person to another. Human language
therefore serves as a primary tool of an
individual for communication (International
Language Services, Inc., 2020)
Linguists set criteria for a language to be considered
a language.
a.Language must have a system of rules (grammar)
b.Language must have a sound system (phonology)
c.Language must have a vocabulary (lexicon)
Language Jargons
Jargon is the complex language used
by experts in a certain discipline or
field. This language often helps experts
communicate with clarity and precision.

Communication is
the process of using
messages to generate
meaning.

(Pearson, et al, 2011,


p.10)
Communication is the
process of sending and
receiving messages
sometimes through spoken or
written words, and
sometimes non-verbally
through facial expressions,
gestures, and voice qualities.
(Ober & Newman, 2013, p.5)
Broadly speaking,
communication is a
process of sharing
opinions and
information,ideas, and
feelings.

(Jimenez & Alparo,


2000, p.1)
Communication is the
process of sending
information to oneself
or another identity,
usually via a
language.

(Palta, 2007, p. 1)
Communication is a
systemic process
in which people
interact with and
through symbols to
create and interpret
meanings.

(Wood, 2012, p. 3)
In its simplest form,
communication is
the transmission of a
message from a
source to a receiver.
(Baran, 2011, p. 4)
PROCESS
• Process implies CONTINUITY.
• Dynamic
• Never static
• Can extend in deep slumber
Communication does not necessarily start in
uttering the first word and stop in saying the last
word of a sentence.
Communication is considered a process itself.
Communication as a process is continuous,
moving and ever changing.
ELEMENTS
Laswell’s Component of Communication
Components of Communication
Pearson et al. (2011)

People – Sources (initiates the message) and Receiver


(intended target)
Message – verbal and non-verbal form of idea,
thought, or feeling.
Channel – means with which the message is delivered.
Feedback – receiver’s verbal and non verbal response
Code – pertains to language
Encoding – process of translating an idea or a thought
into a code
Decoding – the process of assigning meaning to an
idea or a thought.
Noise/Barrier – any interference in the encoding and
decoding processes which affect the clarity and
understanding of a message.
COMMUNICATION PROCESS
1. Linear Model – also called the transmission
model, straightforward manner.
2. Interactive Model – two way process which
involves an exchange or an interaction between the
sender and the receiver.
3. Transaction Model– designates a person as a
sender and a receiver when both communicators can
send and receive messages.

TIME TIME
Key Features of the Transactional Model

• It has time element.


• It depicts communication as varying (not constant)
and dynamic (not static).
• Outer lines indicate communication that occurs within
the system which influence what and how people
communicate.
• Model does not label one as sender and the other as
receiver.
PAUSE AND REFLECT

What are the similarities among three models of


communication? What are their differences? Among the
three models, which model accurately reflects the
communication process in the real world? Can you cite
a specific situation or a personal experience?
