Communication
Any process in which people, through the use of symbols, verbally and/or non verbally, consciously

perceptions) w/in and across various contexts, cultures, channels, and media.
Elements in the communication model
- senders/receivers
- message (V/NV), abstract and concrete
- channel: the senses, technology
- Feedback
- Noise: External (physical), Internal (psychological), semantic (physiological noise)
- setting or context: intrapersonal/interpersonal
senders/receivers
In communication settings, those who send and receive messages
messages
ideas and feelings that a sender/receiver want to share

anything communicated w/o words (facial expressions, hand gestures, etc.)
Verbal message
Expressing feelings, thoughts, or experiences with words, either by speaking or writing
Channels
-the route traveled by a message

-THE SENSES-touch,taste,smell, TECHNOLOGY(thru text messages)
Feedback

ex- TWEET LEADS TO MANY COMMENTS
-how you respond to something says a lot about a person
STRATEGIC FEEDBACK--ability to change messages in ways that will increase your chances of
obtaining your desired result
SENSORY ACUITY- paying attention to everything in the environment when you talk to someone
,External (physical) noise
Interference with the message that comes from the environment and keeps the message from being
heard or understood.
Internal (psychological) noise
Interference with the message that occurs in the minds of the sender receivers when their thoughts
or feelings are focused on something other than the communication at hand.
Semantic (physiological noise)
Interference w/ the message that is caused by people's emotional reactions to words.
Setting
Where the communication occurs
Context
High context occurs when most of the meaning of the message is either implied by the physical
setting or is presumed to be part of the individuals beliefs, values, and norms. It is considered low
context when most of the info is in the code or the message.
Communication as a Transaction
1) All communication has a past, present, and future
2) Participation is continuous and simultaneous
3) All communication plays roles
