Transmitter-receiver model

Post by Reddi1 »

“The sender-receiver model (Shannon-Weaver model) describes communication as the transmission of a message from a sender to a receiver. The message is encoded and transmitted as a signal over a transmission channel.” – Wikipedia

transmitter-receiver model

The sender-receiver model describes communication as the successful sending and receiving of a message. A message is encoded by a sender – e.g. through the German language – and transmitted to a receiver through a medium – e.g. air -> sound.

If the recipient also speaks German, listens and can understand the message - only then can we speak of successful communication. If the recipient does not listen to the message or if there is, for example, a thick concrete wall between the sender and the receiver, no communication takes place because the message does not reach the recipient. If the recipient does not speak German, successful communication also does not take place. This is referred to as a communication disruption .

communication disruptions
A disruption in communication occurs, for example, when the romania phone number data recipient of the message does not speak the same language or when, for example, half of a newspaper article is torn off and missing. If a German speaks in German to a Chinese person who does not understand German, then communication is also disrupted.

If we stick with the example of the newspaper, the article about a recipe is the news.

Possible “fault scenarios” can be:
An enthusiastic amateur cook reads, understands and likes the recipe – Successful communication
An enthusiastic amateur cook reads the recipe but does not understand the preparation – disturbed communication
A reader who is not interested in cooking does not read the recipe – no communication
An enthusiastic amateur cook who has not read the newspaper and the recipe – no communication
In the second scenario, the recipient is willing to understand the message, but fails at encoding (linguistic discussion of the preparation). The author may not have been clear enough in his wording or the recipient may not have been able to understand the preparation. Nevertheless, in both cases we have a broken communication.

In the third scenario, there is no communication at all because the reader has not read the message (the recipe) and probably would not understand it since he is not interested in cooking.

In the 4th scenario, no communication can take place because the (potential) recipient has not even read the message.
