Models of Communication - Examples

The document outlines 8 major models of communication: 1) Aristotle's Linear Model which examines 5 elements of communication, 2) Lasswell's Linear Model which analyzes communication using 5 questions, 3) Shannon-Weaver's Linear Model which highlights the role of noise, and 4) Berlo's Linear S-M-C-R Model which explains communication in 4 steps. It also discusses 5) Osgood-Schramm's Interactive Model which looks at encoding, decoding, and interpreting information during conversations, 6) Westley and Maclean's Interactive Model which examines environmental, cultural and personal influences, 7) Barnlund's Transactional Model which highlights private and public cues, and 8) Dance's Helical

Models of Communication

Linear models – only looks at one-way communication.



 Interactive models – looks at two-way communication.
 Transactional models – looks at two-way communication where the message gets more
complex as the communication event (e.g. conversation) progresses.
This article will outline all 8 major models of communication currently studied in communications
courses at college. Here’s a quick summary to get started:

Aristotle argues that we should look at five elements of
a communication event to analyze how best to

Lasswell’s model is a basic framework for analyzing
one-way communication by asking five questions: Who,

The Shannon-Weaver model is the first to highlight the
3 Shannon-Weaver role of ‘noise’ in communication, which can disrupt or

The Osgood-Schramm model looks at reciprocal
communication, showing how we have to encode,

The Westley and Maclean model shows that our

Barnlund’s Barnlund’s Transactional Model of Communication
7 Transactional highlights the role of private and public cues that impact

Dance’s Helical Model sees communication as a
circular process that gets more and more complex as
8 Dance’s Helical communication occurs, which can be represented by a
