sender

(noun)

someone who encodes and sends a message to a receiver through a particular channel; the initiator of communication.

Examples of sender in the following topics:

  • Speaker

    • In its simplest form, the cycle consists of a sender, a message, and a recipient.
    • Let's take a step back and look at a very specific definition of the message speaker, or sender:
    • A sender is someone who encodes and sends a message to a receiver through a particular channel.
    • The sender is the initiator of communication.

  • Message

    • As the sender, the speech writer and speech giver, you may also be getting messages back from your receivers: your audience.
    • This is what's known as feedback, when the receiver sends a message of response back to the sender.
    • In this way, messaging becomes a dynamic conversation of feedback as the sender sends his or her message to his or her audience, receives feedback from the audience, and then adjusts the message accordingly based on said feedback.

  • Feedback: Visual and Verbal Cues

    • The simplest model of communication relies on three distinct parts: sender, message and receiver.
    • The most advanced communication models include a fifth element: feedback, that is, a return message sent from the receiver back to the sender.

  • Channel

    • A simple speech communication model includes a sender (that is, a speaker), a message, a receiver (that is, an audience), and a channel.

  • Noise and Interference

    • Noise exists at all levels of communication and thus, no message is received exactly as the sender intends (despite his or her best efforts) because of the ever-presence of noise in communication.

  • Conducting a Q&A Session

    • Tweets are publicly visible by default; however, senders can restrict message delivery to just their followers.

  • Proxemics

    • The space between the sender and the receiver of a message influences the way the message is interpreted.

  • Cultural Differences in Approaching Criticism

    • The instrumental style of speaking is sender-orientated; the burden is on the speaker to make him or herself understood.

  • Read Feedback Cues

    • Feedback is the response that listeners provide to the sender of the message.
