The document discusses the communication process and its key components. It defines communication as the exchange of meaning through symbolic interaction. The communication process involves a source encoding a message, sending it through a channel, which the receiver decodes. Feedback from the receiver can then influence the source. Noise is anything that interferes with message delivery. The process is circular, as receivers can also become sources through feedback. The components that make up this process are context, source, encoding, message, channel, decoding, receiver, feedback and noise.
2. COMMUNICATION
The process of creating and exchanging meaning through
symbolic interaction.
As a process communication constantly moves and changes. It
does not stand still.
Meaning involves thoughts, ideas, and understandings shared by
communicators.
Symbolic means that we rely on words and nonverbal behaviors
to communicate meaning and feelings.
8. SOURCE/SENDER
The source initiates the process by
having a thought or an idea that he or
she wishes to transmit to some other
entity.
Sources can be single individuals,
groups, or even organizations.
9. ENCODING
Encoding refers to the activities that a
source goes through to translate
thoughts and ideas into a form that may
be perceived by the senses.
Encoding in a communication process
can take place one or more time.
10. MESSAGE
The message is the actual product that
the source encodes.
Human beings usually have a large
number of messages.
Communication activity revolves around
message.
11. Cont…
Message conveys meaning, feeling, and
various kinds of energy from sender-
receiver to receiver-sender.
Message is the information that is
exchanged between communicators
Messages can be intentional and
unintentional
12. CHANNEL
Provides the space through which the message
must pass; determines the method used to send the
message.
Channels are the ways the message travels to the
receiver.
Sound waves carry spoken words; light waves
carry visual messages.
14. DECODING
The decoding process is the opposite of the
encoding process. It consists of activities that
translate or interpret message products into a
form that has eventual meaning for a receiver.
Both humans and machines can be thought of as
decoder.
15. RECEIVER
The receiver is the target of the message –
its ultimate goal.
The receiver can be a single person, a
group, an institution, or even a large,
anonymous collection of people.
It can be determined by the source.
16. FEEDBACK
It refers to those responses of the receiver that
shape and alter the subsequent messages of
the source.
Feedback represents the reversal of the flow
of communication.
The original source becomes the new receiver
and original receiver becomes new source.
17. CONT…
Feedback has three main functions:
Assurance
Assures the sender
Adjustment
Allows receiver-sender to adjust or modify a
message
Insight
Provides insight to the sender-receiver’s
communication
