The third dimension is dubbed Normative Judgment.
In this dimension, some definitions include a statement of success or accuracy while some other definitions do not contain such implicit judgment. Take for example, Communication is the verbal interchange of a thought or idea. And Communication is the transmission of information. The first definition here is judgmental through the verbal interchange while the second simply talks of the transmission of information.
Burgoon and Ruffner also categorized two similar dimensions in defining communication. They are source-oriented definitions or receiver-oriented definitions. The Source-oriented definitions suggest that communication is all activities in which a person the source intentionally transmits stimuli to evoke a response.
Source-oriented definitions share attributes of intentionality and purpose with the Second dimension. By our definition, intent to communicate and intent to influence are synonymous.
If there is no intent, there is no message. Applying the concept of intentionality in the manner provided for by Miller and Steinberg tends to make one view all communication activities as instrumental and persuasive.
Such a view focuses attention on certain variables in the process, such as the context of a speech or message, the method of delivery, and persuasiveness of the message. Much of the text using such a definition focus on the production of effective messages. With these sorts of definitions, human communication has occurred when a human being responds to a symbol.
It also implies that communication can be provided intentionally or unintentionally and responded to accordingly. The problem with receiver-oriented definition is that it is so broad that it only rules non-symbolic behaviour as communication. Against these various dimensions, a suitable working definition of communication can be attempted. Hence, a simple but broad definition — simple enough to allow understanding and broad enough to include many contexts of communication should be profitable.
We have found Pearson et al definition of communication adequate in this direction. They define communication as: The process by which meaning is exchanged between individuals through a common system of symbols, signs, or behaviour.
This is a definition that emphasizes sharing of meaning, rather than message, as an important aspect of human communication. A careful analysis of the keywords in this definition will give us a full grasp of the intricacies enshrined in the concept of communication.
These keywords are process, meaning, exchange and system of symbols, signs or behavior. These shall be discussed in turn. One of the clearest statement about communication as a process is provided by Berlo , a pioneer in the field of communication, he says: If we accept the concept of process we view events and relationships as dynamic, ongoing, ever changing, continuous.
When we label something as a process, we also mean that it does not have a beginning, an end or a fixed sequence of events. If is moving.
The question that should be on our mind now is what are the ingredients, components or variables which interact in the process of communications.
These are the source or Sender, or Encoder of message , the message, the channel and Medium, the Receiver, the Feedback and Noise. The source creates the message. The receiver, on the other hand, is the entity or the person s to which the message is targeted — that is the message final destination.
This act of responding to the message then completes the process of communication. Hence, when language is put into use, meaning facilitates an appropriate response that indicates that the message was understood. Meaning also requires the understanding the contexts of interaction. By context we mean the environment — physical or psycho-sociological environment in which the communication takes place. Hence, we have symbolic representation only for things we experience in our environment — names are given to various experiences.
Whorf-Sapir hypothesis Thus, language, which exists primarily as verbal and nonverbal codes, becomes an important part of communication. The verbal codes are the spoken and the written words while the nonverbal codes are all symbols that are not words. So far, we believe you have gained some insights into the concept of communication — as a dynamic phenomenon, changing from time to time and never static. It is informal as can be seen from a child learning how to talk and formal in a child learning the rudiments of grammar.
It is a process — having no easily defined beginning and end. Contexts of Communication The context of communication is a set of circumstance or a situation in which communication act takes place.
In the field of communication, four of such contexts are recognized. They are the intrapersonal, interpersonal, public and mass communication contexts.
