Function OF Communication Model

 



Communication model refers to the visual representation of communication process. Communication model performs certain function in developing communication skills and efficiency. Some important functions of communications model are mentioned below:

1.      Teaching The Elements of Communication Process: Communication model represents various elements involved in sending and receiving message. So from communication model, one can learn various aspects of communication process. For this reason, it is said that communication model teaches communication process.

2.      Conducting Research: The second important function of communication model is to help in conducting research in the field of communication. Communication model presents various aspects of communication logically that help the researchers are in understanding the pattern of communication. So with the help of communication models, the researchers can undertake communication research programmers and perform those efficiently.

3.      Predicting The Success or Failure of Communication Process: Another function of communication model is to predict or forecast the success or failure of a particular communication process. Through this model, one can ascertain the causes of success or failure of communication.

Objective of Communication Model:

Communication model has evolved to understand the communication process. It helps to understand the important aspects of communication. Some points highlighting the importance or objectives of communication model given below:

1.      Easy Understanding of Communication Process: Communication model helps to understand the communication process easily and logically.

2.      Showing Information Flow: Communication model shows how information flow from one person to another in the organization.

3.      Introducing The Parts of Communication Process: Communication model is also helpful to orient various parts of communication process to its readers.

4.      Easy Presentation of Communication Process: Communication process is a complex issue. Through a model, this complex issue can be presented easily.

5.      Understanding the Communication Complexities: Complex issues of communication process cannot be show in the communication model. Comparing these complexities with the model, one can measures the degree of complexities in a given communication issue.

Becker’s Mosaic Model of Communication

Image
Sam Becker proposed a communication model in “The Prospect of Rhetoric” (1968), which is known as Becker’s Mosaic Model of Communication. According to him, the classical models of communication are not very useful in contemporary communication. The model explains the complexity of human communication. It also describes the randomness of the origin of messages and communication as a dynamic process. The model is believed to reduce the limitations of the linear models. The model stresses the meaning of messages. The model was inspired by Marshall McLuhan’s views and metaphors of television as a collection of light and dark spots. Components of Becker’s Mosaic Model of Communication   1.       Empty cells – Unavailable messages or sources 2.       Vertical layers – Set of similar messages 3.       Cells – Messages and sources 4.       Receivers go through the cells in  ...

Gerbner's General Model of Communication (1956)

Image
Similarly to the Schramm & Osgood Circular Model, Gerbner's General Model emphasizes the dynamic nature of human communication. It also, in common with other models, such as say, David Berio's S-M-C-R model, gives prominence to the factors which may affect fidelity Gerbner's General Model   Perceptual Dimension: An 'E is an event happens in the real life and the event content or message is perceived by ‘M’ (Man or a Machine). After Perceives the message from "E" by "M" is known as 'El’. E1 is not same as like ‘E’. Because any man or machine can't perceives the whole event and they perceives only the part of the event (E1). This is known as "Perceptual Dimension". These 3 factors are involves between 'E' and 'M' ü   Selection ü   Context ü   Availability M (man or machine) cannot perceive the entire content of the event "E" So M selects the interesting or needed content from the entire ...

Barnlund’s Transactional Model of Communication

Image
  Dean Barnlund proposed a transactional model of communication in 1970 for basic interpersonal  communication  which articulates that sending and receiving of messages happens simultaneously between people which is popularly known as Barlund’s Transactional Model of Communication. The model has been further adapted and reformed by other theorists as  General Transactional Model . The model shifted from the trend of  linear model  to  dynamic  and  two way  communication model. Concepts of Barnlund’s Transactional Model of Communication        Barnlund’s Transactional Model is a  multi-layered feedback system . This is a continuous process where sender and receiver interchanges their places and both are equally important. The message passing takes place with a constant feedback being provided from both parties. A feedback for one is the message for the other. Components of Barlund’s model Cues  r...
