The term 'communication' is derived from the Latin word 'communis' meaning having something in common or establishing commonness. When we communicate we are trying to establish 'commonness' with someone. That is, we are trying to share information, an idea, or an attitude. 

Communication takes place at different levels and accordingly we can speak of different types of communication.

  1. Linear Communication:  linear, one-way communication.
    • This model gives importance to the communicator and his/her message the element of feedback was not included. 
    • This model had helped to improve the understanding of communication among social scientists engaged in communication theories.
    • This model was useful in political communication, propaganda, and political symbolism.
    • The model also assumes the communicator wishes to influence the receiver and, therefore, sees communication as a persuasive process.
    • In the example, A teacher in the classroom presents a structured content, the teacher is transmitting the knowledge and student are receiving it.
  2. The interactive model:
    • It is also known as the Convergence model allows the feedback process which consists of messages sent in response to other messages. 
    • In every communication, it is important that any message generates by the sender must be understood by the receiver without losing the originality intended by the sender.
    • In any arena of communication, every component plays an important role in carrying out the smooth flow of information resulting in a successful understanding between the sender and the receiver.
    • In the example, The principal of a college holds the staff meeting for understanding their problems, the principal will convey a message and will get feedback during the communication process.
  3. Transactional Communication:
    • Communication is an ever-changing, dynamic, transactional process in which any element may change the whole communication relationship.
    • It is concerned with the creation and recreation of meaning. Meaning resides in people rather than in messages. In our communicative transactions with others, we use information as a means of enhancing the possibilities of environmental control; consequently, information exchange serves as a communicative means rather than an end in itself.
    • In the example, Members are given themes on which they are required to hold a discussion, members will communicate dynamically and exchange the information after reading.
