  2. Models of communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Models_of_communication

    Many models of communication include the idea that a sender encodes a message and uses a channel to transmit it to a receiver. Noise may distort the message along the way. The receiver then decodes the message and gives some form of feedback. [1] Models of communication simplify or represent the process of communication.

  3. Emotional prosody - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emotional_prosody

    Language can be split into two components: the verbal and vocal channels. The verbal channel is the semantic content made by the speaker's chosen words. In the verbal channel, the semantic content of the speakers words determines the meaning of the sentence. The way a sentence is spoken, however, can change its meaning which is the vocal channel.

  4. Lasswell's model of communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lasswell's_model_of...

    Some theorists hold that Lasswell's model is too simple to be called a model of communication and is better characterized as a questioning device. [10] Against this view, it has been argued that the model's simple presentation in terms of five questions is a convenient starting point but does not do justice to its theoretical complexity.

  5. Source–message–channel–receiver model of communication

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source–message–channel...

    The communication skills required for successful communication are different for source and receiver. For the source, this includes the ability to express oneself or to encode the message in an accessible way. [8] Communication starts with a specific purpose and encoding skills are necessary to express this purpose in the form of a message.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vocal-Auditory_Channel

    This is why human language is said to be based on speech sounds produced by the articulatory system and received through the auditory system. The vocal channel is a particularly excellent means through which speech sounds can be accompanied or substituted by gestures , facial expressions, body movement, and way of dressing.

  7. Paralanguage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paralanguage

    Paralanguage, also known as vocalics, is a component of meta-communication that may modify meaning, give nuanced meaning, or convey emotion, by using techniques such as prosody, pitch, volume, intonation, etc. It is sometimes defined as relating to nonphonemic properties only. Paralanguage may be expressed consciously or unconsciously.

  8. Missing fundamental - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_fundamental

    The pitch being perceived with the first harmonic being absent in the waveform is called the missing fundamental phenomenon. [ 1 ] It is established in psychoacoustics that the auditory system, with its natural tendency to distinguish a tone from another, will persistently assign a pitch to a complex tone given that a sufficient set of ...

  9. Tone (linguistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tone_(linguistics)

    Tone is the use of pitch in language to distinguish lexical or grammatical meaning—that is, to distinguish or to inflect words. [1] All oral languages use pitch to express emotional and other para-linguistic information and to convey emphasis, contrast and other such features in what is called intonation, but not all languages use tones to distinguish words or their inflections, analogously ...
