The Models of Communication
Dr. Radhika Kapur
Abstract
The models of communication render an important contribution in facilitating the
processes of communication in an efficient manner. The various researchers and scholars
have conducted research in terms of models of communication. Hence, this research paper is
focused upon acquiring an understanding in terms of models of communication. When the
individuals acquire information in terms of models of communication, they are able to
acknowledge the ways, which need to be put into operation to carry out the processes of
communication in a well-organized manner. A model is referred to the graphic image, which
is aimed to make provision of description in terms of the ways of the working of the variable.
It is a strategy, design, illustration or explanation that is created to represent the structure as
well as the working of the articles, objects, schemes, tasks and concepts. A model of
communication makes provision of a useful way of generating information in terms of
graphical checklist in terms of various components. When the communication models are
implemented in an effectual manner, the individuals are able to facilitate communication
processes in an effectual manner. The main areas that have been taken into account in this
research paper include, developing models of communication, objectives of models of
communication, functions of models of communication, and models of communication.
Keywords: Awareness, Communication, Individuals, Information, Models,
Processes, Structure
The models of communication are regarded as important concepts that helps in
understanding the processes of communication. Like the nature and concept of
communication, the models of communication are also regarded as crucial. There has been
extensive research conducted on the models of communication. But there is no single theory
or model, which has found general acceptance. The models of communication have the main
objective of generating information among the individuals in terms of important concepts of
communication. When understanding the models of communication, it is vital to understand
what model means. A model is referred to the graphic representation, which is designed to
provide explanation in terms of the ways of the working of the variable. It is a plan, pattern,
representation or description that is designed to depict the structure as well as functioning of
, the objects, systems and concepts. A model of communication provides a convenient way of
generating information in terms of graphical checklist of various elements (Unit 1 Models
and Processes of Communication, n.d.).
The Greek philosopher Aristotle looked at communication from the rhetorical
perspective, i.e. speaking to the masses that influence and persuade them. Aristotle
constructed a model with three elements. The speaker-speech-audience, in which the basic
function of communication was to persuade other individuals. This is accepted as the first
model of communication. Thereafter, in the twentieth century, there were initiation of
number of new models as well. In the latter part of the century, there were changes in the
concept of communication. This change was due to the advent of modernization and
globalization. Newspapers, television and radio are regarded as important factors that led to
changes in the communication processes. During the first and the second world wars,
communication was also made use of as a propaganda and facilitated exchange of ideas and
perspectives between individuals. Communication was regarded as the linear way of flow of
information (Unit 1 Models and Processes of Communication, n.d.).
Developing Models of Communication
A model can be defined as the visual representation that identifies, classifies and
describes various parts of the process. In the communication process, the main features
include, sender, message, media and receiver. There is a strong association between these
features. Communication process initiates with the transmission of message by the
communicator and ends with the feedback given by the receivers. When this communication
process is represented through line or picture, it is known as the communication model. In
other words, the pictorial representation of communication process is known as the
communication model. The simple communication model consists of the sender, message and
receiver. When the communication model is created in a simple way and comprises of these
three features, then it does not take into account other aspects. In the communication model,
the various parts of the communication processes are illustrated in a sequential and rational
way (What is Communication Model? 2020).
There are two models of communication, linear and transactional. Linear is regarded
as the basic model, whereas, transactional model is the model, which builds upon the linear
model. The senders communicate with the receivers. It is a one-way channel. Within the
course of the implementation of communication process, there are various kinds of barriers as
