A definition of human communicationA. “The process of creating a meaning between two or more people.”- TubbsII. What is an implication?A. Logical relationship between two propositions(between two things) in which if the first proposition is true the second proposition is also true.1. Its not obvious, its not stated2. Every message has something you can read into it3. Read the true even though its not stated.4. Root word: Imply- to indicate by inference rather than by direct statementDefinition: Implication is a logical consequence of a proposition that is not directly stated by the proposition.Definition: Proposition- what's likely to be trueIII. Communication is ….A. symbolic- creating a meaning1. digital codes- words have no logic, random2. Ana logic codes- symbols tide to their meaning. (most non-verbal communicate is analogical) ex: smiling, represents happiness B. Both overt and covert action-both obvious, and hiddenC. Both Creation and Interpretation- process between two or more people, could befacial expressions too.(One sentence is not always whats interpreted)D. Both a means and an end- Means-like a tool, lets us use to accomplish goals. Ends-the goalIV. Communication theoryA. The ultimate goal of communication research is the development of communication theory. B. A definition of theory1. A theory is any attempt to explain of to represent a phenomenon.2. A theory is an abstraction- theories are suppose to be understandable(partial representation)3. A theory is a construction- proved uponV. Formal definition of theoryA. theory is a set of concepts that are linked together by relational statements1. Covariation relationships- how two or more things change together ex: temp and clothing change2. Categorical effects- how diff members of the category reactThese notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture.
