Models Of The Communication Process

Classic Models of the Communication Process:

Aristotle's Model (according to Berlo):

For another perspective on Aristotle's implicit model of the communication process, see http://faculty.juniata.edu/cockett/teaching/130/models/aristotle.html

Shannon's Model (according to Berlo):

A Storage Model:

An Intermediary or Gatekeeper Model:

Katz and Lazarsfeld’s Two Step Flow extend this model. See http://faculty.juniata.edu/cockett/teaching/130/models/katz.html

A Transactional Model:

This model has its roots in Schraam and Osborn's Circular Model. It is extended in interesting ways by Dance's Model (see http://faculty.juniata.edu/cockett/teaching/130/models/dance.html) and the time series model of Watzlawick, Beavin & Jackson (see http://faculty.juniata.edu/cockett/teaching/130/models/watzlawick.html).
Discussed in more detail at http://davis.foulger.info/research/unifiedModelOfCommunication.htm

Its predecessor, referred to as a unified model of communication:

Introduced with minimal discussion at the end of http://evolutionarymedia.com/papers/hammerAsMedium.htm

In this topic "THE MODEL OF COMMUNICATION BY LIGANS" should be added because that model is more useful and new then these all.

: I presume you are referring to "ligands" and to models of biochemical interaction at cell boundaries, which is described in at least one recent article http://www.cell.com/biophysj/abstract/S0006-3495(03)75093-0 ) as an intercelluar communication process involving ligands. I won't say this isn't interesting (it is), but it is hardly a general model of the communication process and it isn't newer than the most recent models overviewed here. - DavisFoulger

maybe you must add Dance model of communication here! the photo and the illustration

good

very nice exact point of communication
