What are the main components of the transactional model of communication? How is this model different than the linear model?

*Revised Linear Model* = Transaction: communicative exchange between participants that constantly send AND receive messages EX: Speaker send message and receiver yawns (receiver is now becoming speaker as well sending their own message through the yawn). - Feedback: verbal/nonverbal: shout out/yawn - Shared Meaning: common understanding with little confusion and few misinterpratations V.S. Linear Model of Communication: Idea that speech was ONE way flow of ideas from speaker to audience. EX: Like speaker injected listeners with his or her ideas as do doctors a patient 1. Source: Person with an idea to express 2. Message: Constituted through Ideas he/she conveys to audience 3. Encode: Source must encode message -he/she chooses... 4. Verbal/nonverbal symbols: express ideas. Verbal: words that source uses Nonverbal: means of making a point without the use of words (hand gestures, eye contact, facial expressions) 5. Channel: How source communicates the encoded message (medium of delivery) EX: Speaker Voice, Microphone, Broadcast, Podcast, etc. 6. Receivers: try to make sense of message by decoding 7. Decode: receivers process the source's verbal and non-verbal symbols and form their own perception of message's meaning 8. Noise aka interference: phenomenon that disrupts communication between source and receiver. Noise may be caused by external source (fleet of jets) (talking)
