MODELS OF COMMUNICATION
LINEAR MODEL OF COMMUNICATION
• Considered as the earliest and most influential model

of communication.
• This model views communication as one-way or a

linear transmission of messages.
INTERACTIVE MODEL OF COMMUNICATION
• Shows that communication is a two-way process, for it

recognizes the presence of feedback.
• This means that there is message going both ways. The sender
gives off a message to the receiver, who then responds and
becomes the sender, and so on.
TRANSACTIONAL MODEL OF COMMUNICATION
• Describes communication as a process in which communicators

generate social realities within social, relational, and cultural
contexts.
• Model suggests that you are simultaneously a sender and
receiver.
• Also includes a more complete understanding of context.
• The Transaction Model of communication frames communication

as a force that shapes your realities before and after specific
interactions occur, it must account for contextual influences
outside of a single interaction. To do this, the Transaction Model
considers how social, relational, and cultural contexts frame and
influence communication encounters.
