(a) Describe the communication process, beginning with the development of the expression in the sender and continuing with the process of decoding engaged in by the receiver. (b) When is the communication complete?
What will be an ideal response?
Answer:
(a) The sender formulates a thought, translates that thought cognitively into a sentence, identifies the separate words in the sentence, breaks the word down into sounds, and then encodes those sounds into speech sounds/letters, which are uttered in speech or in writing.
The receiver receives the auditory or visual stimulus, identifies the sounds, makes the letter-sound associations, mentally combines the sounds into a word, and the words into a sentence, which is then comprehended as a complete thought.
(b) The communication is complete when the receiver has decoded the message and determined that the message is equivalent to the one that originated in the sender's mind. Being able to perform these functions automatically and fluently is also critical to effective communication.
(c) Grice's Cooperative Principle holds that a communication should be true, relevant, clear and only as informative as the situation requires. If a speaker follows these principles and the listener expects the speaker to be communicating effectively, the communication process described above will be completed.
