ARISTOTLE’S MODEL OF COMMUNICATION
SHANNON-WEAVER MODEL OF COMMUNICATION
SCHRAMM’S MODEL OF COMMUNICATION
WHITE‘S MODEL OF COMMUNICATION
The best way to understand communication is to
see it graphically. Many authors and researchers
have come up with their own models based on
what they want to emphasize as being an important
component of communication.
ARISTOTLE’S MODEL OF
COMMUNICATION
Aristotle focused on the Speaker and the Message. The
most important part in his model is the settings where the
Listener is situated. We have three (3) settings in
Aristotle’s time were legal, deliberative and ceremonial.
ARISTOTLE’S MODEL OF
COMMUNICATION
Claude Shannon and Warren Weaver gave us the Concept of
“noise”. This is often called the Telephone Model because it is based
on the experiences of having the message interfered with by “noise”
from the telephone switchboard back in the 1940s.
SHANNON-WEAVER MODEL
OF COMMUNICATION
Wilbur Lang Schramm also
known as the Father of Mass
communication, was a scholar and
"authority on mass
communications". He founded the
Iowa Writers' Workshop in 1935
and served as its first director until
1941.
SCHRAMM’S MODEL OF
COMMUNICATION
Wilbur Schramm’s model of communication concerned with the concept that
explain why communication breakdown occurs. Schramm asserts that
communication can take place if and only if there is an overlap between the Field
of Experience of the speaker and the Field of Experience of the Listeners.
SCHRAMM’S MODEL OF
COMMUNICATION
Eugene White tells us that communication is circular and
continuous. He introduces Concepts of feedback. Feedback is the
perception by the Speaker about the response of the Listener. The
Speaker can only receive feedback if the Speaker is monitoring the
Listener. The Speaker will know what the Listener’s Response is only
of he/she is paying attention.
