communication 1.Dynamic model- Shows how a situation can change 2.It shows why redundancy is an
essential part 3.There is no separate sender and receiver, sender and receiver is the same person 4.
Assume communication to be circular in nature 5. Feedback – central feature. Disadvantage of Osgood-
Schramm model of communication 1.This model does not talk about semantic noise and it assume the
moment of encoding and decoding.

Chapter Summary
Human beings are poor communicators but our communicative competence can be improved by
learning and practising effective communication skills.

Communication has a symbolic nature and is an act of sharing one’s ideas, emotions, attitudes, or
perceptions with another person or group of persons through words (written or spoken), gestures,
signals, signs, or other modes of transmitting images. The transmission of ideas always encounters
barriers that reduce its effectiveness.

The essential elements of the process of communication are the message, the sender, encoding, the
channel, the receiver, decoding, acting on the message, the feedback, and the communication
environment.
