Characteristic feature

Source

  • A person or an event that provides verbal/non-verbal cues.
  • The message is imagined, created, and sent by the source.
  • The source encodes the message by selecting the optimal order of words to communicate the intended meaning, and then presents or sends it to the audience (receiver.)

Receiver

  • A person who interprets the message.
  • The receiver receives the message from the source, analyzing and interpreting the message in ways both intended and unintended by the source.

Message

  • Set of verbal and nonverbal cues from a source.
  • The message brings together words to convey meaning but is also about how it’s conveyed — through nonverbal cues, organization, grammar, style, and other elements.
  • The message is the stimulus or meaning produced by the source for the receiver or audience.

Channel

  • The channel is the way in which a message or messages travel between source and receiver.
  • It is a means used to convey the message.
  • Face-to-face discussions, speeches, phone calls and voicemail messages, radio, public address systems, and Skype are examples of spoken channels.
  • Letters, memorandums, purchase orders, invoices, newspaper and magazine articles, blogs, email, text messages, tweets, and so on are examples of written channels.
