lesson 1 Flashcards
is a process by which we assign and convey meaning in an attempt to create shared understanding.
It is a process of transmitting and receiving message.
Communication
3 Essential Parts of Communication
1Communication involves people.
2Communication involves shared meaning.
3Communication involves symbols.
observable signals transmitted from sender to receiver.
Symbols
spoken signals that are heard
printed symbols that can be read
hand signals that are seen
even symbols that are felt
(such as spoken words),
(such as printed words)
(such as signals in sign language)
(such as Braille writing for the blind)
verbal communication using the voice.
Speaking
aural communication using the ears.
Listening
visual communication using the eyes.
Body Language
Communication has elements that work together to produce a system. They are composed of the following:
Sender and Receiver
Encoding and Decoding
Message
Channel
Noise
Feedback
the message is a highly important element being the source of the idea.
Speaker, a writer, or someone who merely gestures.
skills required in transmitting messages
Ability to use the language that the receiver understands.
Along with using the appropriate language is the application of linguist features such as correct grammar, phonetics (for spoken messages); choice of words or jargons for an appropriate audience; sentence construction; and discourse competence.
Sender
to communicate with other people
interpersonal communication
He may decide to communicate with his own self
intrapersonal communication
is the process of turning thoughts into communication.
Encoder
is the process of turning communication into thoughts
Decoder
the medium through which the message is sent.
connect the sender and the receiver.
When a sender uses a microphone or other device, then that becomes part of the channel. The quality of channel depends on how free it is of noise/ barrier. Noise is anything that reduces the quality of the signal sent by the sender through the channel, weakening the communication between sender and receiver.
Chaneel
the ideas or thoughts that are transmitted from sender to receiver. They are the result of the interpretation of symbols, when meaning is derived from observable signals.
The proper reception of message depends on correct interpretation by the receiver of the symbols sent by the sender. In turn, correct interpretation by the receiver of the symbols sent by a sender is greatly affected by the similarity between the culture and experience of the sender and receiver. The culture and experience together are called SCHEMA. Some theoreticians call this the FIELD OF EXPERIENCE.
MEssage
refers to anything that interferes with message transmission or reception.
noise/barrier
Different types of noise:
refers to bodily processes and states that interfere with a message
physiological noise
Different types of noise:
refers to mental states or emotional states that impede message transmission or reception.
psychological noise
SENDERS covey messages by converting their thoughts into symbols or observable signals such as words. This is called
ENCODING
RECEIVERS hear the signals and convert the symbols into their thoughts. This is called
DECODING
message transmitted by the receiver in response to the message of the speaker.
