Factors of the communication are
in the information theory of the engineer and mathematician Claude And Shannon and the sociologist Warren Weaver
(mathematical The Theory of Communication

1949
the six elements that take part in the transmission of a message or information. They are: source
transmitter
signal
noises
receiver and adressee. This scheme soon was extended with more elements: emitter
code
message
channel
redundancy
emitted signal
received signal
situation and context. Shannon was in charge of the cuatificables aspects of the process
whereas Warren Weaver expanded east scheme when indicating that the communication problems could be analyzed in three levels: technician
semantic (referred to the meaning and interpretation of the message) and pragmatic (on the consequences of the communication in the behavior of the people.

Later
Californian investigators of the High Wood School adopted a very critical position with respect to this model
who considered was not able to include the universal complex of the human communication
a process filled with interactions. Watzlawick
Jackson and Beavin defined in 1967 five axioms of the human communication
of which we emphasized:

1) It is impossible not to communicate. In the human interaction
all conduct has the value of a message. As noconducta does not exist
we are always communicating.
2) All communication has a content level (what we say) and a relational level (to whom and how we say it). We not only transmitted data
also we establish a relation with our interlocutor.
3) the people use so much the communication digital (linguistic symbols and/or written) like the analogical one (nonverbal language).
The factors or elements that take part in the communication are
more or less
the following ones:

The source is the information or content in gross without codifying for being transmitted in the message. For example
the temperatures of a weather message.
The emitter is the element that takes and elaborates the source according to a code to transmit a message elaborated by means of the same one. The man of the time
for example.
The code is the set of signs and rules of combination of such that serves to transmit a information or source according to a comprehensible or decodable symbolic system for the emitter and the receiver. For example
the system of measurement of temperatures that we adopt in a weather message: centigrade
R้aumur scale
Fahrenheit... or the language that are used in a weather message: the Spanish
the English...
The message is the information of the source already elaborated and formed by means of the code: the weather message as it leaves emitted.
The emitted signal is the intensity of the transmission once leaves the emitter
always more intense and less modified or distorted than the received signal.

The channel is the average physicist through as the message is transmitted: nervous system
air
receive
water...

The noise is all element
psychic physicist or
whom a loss or distortion in the content causes or forms of the message: opacity of the channel
weakness of the signal
distances
fatigue of the emitter
bad understanding or possession of the code
ambiguity
deafness
distraction
madness
prejudices etc...
The redundancy is the recurrent repetition of information that is made in the message in order that the alterations
distortions and losses of information that causes the noise do not cause a flight of excellent information.
The context is the knowledge of a series of lingํsticas circumstances (previous messages to the message
necessary knowledge of presuppositions and data for the intelecci๓n of the message) that is to have the message to be able to be understood exactly.

The situation is the physical
temporary and space frame
of extralinguistic nature
in which the communicative process is developed
and that sometimes is essential to be able to interpret a message correctly.
The collector is that to that the message goes destined
but that it necessarily does not have to be the element that deciphers it.
The receiver is the one who receives and deciphers to the message codified by the emitter using the same code whereupon it was based if the transmission is ideal.
