4 . Cite some basic models of communication
1. Linear Communication Model The linear model views communication as a one-way
or linear process in which the speaker speaks and the listener listens.
2. Interactive Model The main flaw in the linear model is that it depicts com
munication as a one-way process where speakers only speak and never listen.
It also implies that listeners listen and never speak or send messages.
3. Transactional Model The main drawback in the interactive model is that it doe
s not indicate that communicators can both send and receive messages simultaneou
sly. This model also fails to show that communication is a dynamic process which
changes over time.
