The Basic Communication Model

The book describes communication as "the passing of information, the exchange of ideas, or the process of establishing a commonness or oneness of thought between a sender and receiver." To simplify, communication is the passing of information from a sender to a receiver. The book also provides an illustrated example of communication known as source encoding (also known as the encode-decode model).

Encode-decode model of communication

Here is an example of how source encoding works between humans in general. The source encodes or speaks to the receiver, producing a message. The receiver then decodes the message or interprets the message. Noise also occurs throughout this process and can distort the message. This is a very simplified version of the source encoding model.
