A Model of Communication from a Social Perspective

[This paper can also be found as part of the Journal of Knowledge Advancement & Integration at www.lulu.com/Journal-KAI]. The paper introduces a model of communication from a social perspective. Sporadic evidence show that the model is a good heuristic for explaining and modelling communication as an interactive process. The model is capable of identifying different operations in the communication process, as well as pinpointing where communication bottlenecks might occur. The purpose of this paper is to open a research project that will test and validate this communication model by way of an analysis of the information contained in the available literature, -this will be meta-analysed on a case-by-case basis, and the results will be described in future papers.
