  3. 1. Models of Communication What is communication? What is communicative competence?

  4. A Definition “communication[Lat. communicatio ‘the action of imparting‘] In its broadest sense, this term refers to every kind of mutual transmission of information using signs or symbols between living beings (humans, animals), between people and data-processing machines. [...]” (Bussmann 1996:83)

  5. A Definition (continued) “In its narrower, linguistic sense, communication is the understanding which occurs between humans through linguistic and non-linguistic means like gestures, mimicry and voice ( non-verbal communication). The basic components of communication are shown in communication models. [...]” (Bussmann 1996:83)

  6. Models of Communication • Aristotle‘s Rhetoric • De Saussure‘s Model of the Speech Circuit • Shannon‘s and Weaver‘s Model • Gerbner‘s General Model • Bühler‘s and Jakobson‘s Models • Watzlawick’s, Beavin’s, and Jackson’s Model • Schulz von Thun’s Model

  22. Watzlawick, Beavin, and Jackson (1967): Pragmatics of Human Communication • One cannot not communicate. (Watzlawick and others 1967:51) • Every communication has a content and a relationship aspect such that the latter classifies the former and is therefore a metacommunication.(Watzlawick and others 1967:54)

  37. Communicative Competence “Communicative Competence describes the speaker’s ability to select from the totality of grammatical expressions available to him, forms which appropriately reflect the social norms governing behavior in specific encounters.” (Hymes 1972:270, in: Beneke (ed.) 1993:76)

  38. Communicative Competence “From a sociolinguistic perspective, communicative competence includes the following: (a) LINGUISTIC KNOWLEDGE: verbal and nonverbal codes, and the range of possible variants (b) INTERACTION SKILLS: sociolinguistic rules for appropriate use, discourse organization and processes, and strategies for achieving goals (c) CULTURAL KNOWLEDGE: social structure, values and beliefs, and cognitive maps or schemata for the content domains” (Saville-Troike 1992, in: Bright 1992:273)
