3. Abstraction
1. Shannon-Weaver Model Known as the
mother of all communication models, the
Shannon-Weaver model (1949) depicts
communication as a linear or one-way
process consisting of five elements:
As shown in Figure 2, this model is more
interactive. There is a collaborative
exchange of messages between
communicators with the aim of
understanding each other. It also shows
that a barrier, such as noise, may interfere
with the flow of communication.
Functions of Communication
Basically, there are five functions of
communication. These are control, social
interaction, motivation, emotional
expression, and information dissemination.

a source (producer of message); 1. Control – Communication functions to

control behavior.
a transmitter (encoder of message into
signals); 2. Social Interaction – Communication
allows individuals to interact with others.
a channel (signals adapted for
transmission); 3. Motivation – Communication motivates
or encourages people to live better.
a receiver (decoder of message from the
signal); and a destination.
4. Emotional expression – Communication
facilitates people’s expression of their
feelings and emotions.

5. Information dissemination –
Communication functions to convey
information.

4. Application
Work with your group mates in the Let’s
Warm Up activity. As a group, do the
following:

Study the diagram below. It represents the

Schramm Model. Schramm (1954)
modified the Shannon-Weaver Model.
What has Schramm added to the
Shannon-Weaver Model? Is the new
model more comprehensive? Why do you
think so? How is it different from or similar
to the Transaction Model
