Communication Factors.

Communication Factors are, in theory of information engineer and mathematician Claude Shannon and Warren Weaver, sociologist (mathematical theory of communication, urban: University of Illinois Press, 1949) six elements involved in the transmission of a message or information. They are: origin, transmitter, signal, noise, receiver and the receiver. This scheme was extended soon with more items: transmitter, code, message, channel, redundancy, signal, signal received, situation and context. Shannon has been responsible for aspects cuatificables process, whereas Warren Weaver extended scheme when indicating communication problems could be addressed at three levels: technical, semantic (called the meaning and interpretation of the message) and pragmatics (about the consequences of communication in the behaviour of the population).

Later, California School researchers wood adopted a very critical of this model, which is considered couldn't include the universal complex of human communication, a process completed interactions. Watzlawick, Jackson and Beavin defined in 1967 five axioms of human communication, which stressed us:
1) cannot communicate. In human interaction, conduct has the value of a message. Noconducta are not, we're always communicate.
(2) all communications have a level of content (what we say) and a relational level (which, as we are told). We not only data transmitted, we establish a relationship with our trading partner.
(3) people use as much digital communication (language and/or symbols written) as analog (non-verbal language).
Factors or elements involved in the communication are more or less as follows: source is simple content without encoding for transmission or message information. For example, a message of atmospheric temperatures.
The transmitter is accepted and a source must use to convey a message code developed with the same element. Man time, for example.
The code is all signs and the combination of these rules used to convey information or source based on a system comprehensible or symbolic decodable format for the transmitter and receiver. For example, measuring temperatures we adopt in a system message time: Fahrenheit, Réaumur, f scale ... or the language commonly used in a message of time: Spanish, English ...
The message has already been developed and trained through the information source code: time message is issued.
The transmitter, signal emitted is always more intense and less altered or distorted both transmitting sheets received signal strength.

The channel is the physical medium through which the message is transmitted: nervous system, water, air, receive ...

The noise is anything physical, psychic or whose loss or distortion on the screens of the message or content root: opacity channel, weak signal, distances, fatigue, misunderstandings or ownership of code, any ambiguity, deafness, distraction, madness, prejudices etc. ...
Redundancy is applicant standard information that are placed on the message for changes, distortion and loss that causes noise information do not involve an excellent information theft.
The context is the knowledge of a series of linguistic circumstances (previous messages to the message, the knowledge necessary to the presuppositions intelección message data) to be the message to be understood accurately.

The situation is temporary, physics and space nature extralinguistic image, where the communication process is developed and it is sometimes necessary to correctly interpret a message.
The collector is that for which the message is dedicated, but must not necessarily there to be the item it decrypts.
Is the receiver that receives and decrypts the message encoded by the issuer with the same code, after which based transmission is ideal.
