  3. communication as a process • communication is a process in which people share information, ideas, and feelings • basic elements of communication: • senders and receivers • messages • channels • feedback • setting

  4. senders and receivers senders - receivers send and receive messages simultaneously

  5. message • is made up of the ideas and the feelings to be shared • are represented by symbols • symbols – that stand for sth else • symbols: verbal and nonverbal • verbal symbols: concrete and abstract

  6. channels • route traveled by a message between the senders-receivers • senses and technical means

  7. feedback • response of the receivers-senders to each other • immediate and delayed

  8. noise • interference that keeps a message from being understood or accurately interpreted • three kinds of noise: • physical • semantic • psychological

  9. setting • where the communication occures (the surrounding) • is made up of several components

  10. principles of transactional communication • participation is continuous and simultaneous • all communications have a past, present, and future • all communicators play roles

  11. types of communication • intrapersonal • interpersonal • small-group communication • institutional communication • mass communication

  12. intrapersonal communication • occures within a person • is centered in the self – one is the only sender-receiver • message – thoughts and feelings • channel: one’s brain • social experience

  13. interpersonal communication • one to one or a few • each functions as a sender-receiver • verbal and nonverbal symbols • channels: all senses • immediate feedback

  14. small-group communication • each has a chance to interact with all • more complicated, more chance for confusion • usually to solve a problem • messages more structured • channels: all senses • immediate feedback

  15. institutional/organizational communication • e.g. political system or business firm • complicated and indirect • delayed feedback • messages structured • formal and informal channels • need for technical devices

  16. mass communication • delivering information, ideas, and attitudes to a sizable, diversified audience through use of media designed for that purpose • professional communicator • mass audience • highly structured message • delayed feedback

  17. barriers to effective communication • selective attention, distortion, and recall • channel noises • psychological noise • language noise • fields of experience • value judgements • mis-matching • selectivity

  18. barriers to effective communication • status differences • time constraints • overload

  19. verbal communication • symbol – stands for the object or concept that it names • denotative meaning – dictionary definition • connotative meaning – feelings or associations one has about a word • meanings are determined by people, not by words

  20. language environment • people • their purpose • the rules • the actual talk

  21. language • ritual • appropriate • specialization

  22. role and verbal image • style – result of the way we select and arrange words and sentences • verbal style – connected with the role • instrumental vs expressive language

  23. improving verbal communication • what do you want to say • how do you want to say it • to whom are you talking • metatalk
