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.

  • Using Technology to Communicate

    • Other communication tools are asynchronous, meaning messages may be transmitted by senders and processed by recipients at different times.
    • Responses from recipients may be delayed, which means the sender must wait for confirmation that the message has been interpreted as intended and resulted in the desired action.
    • Communication mediated by technology can be unidirectional, flowing from a sender to one or more individuals, groups, or organizations.
    • Unidirectional communication is typical when the sender primarily seeks to inform or influence the recipient(s).

  • Learning to Listen

    • Effective oral communication is the responsibility of both the sender and the recipient.
    • While the sender must focus on making sure the message is clear, the receiver has to show that the message is received and understood.
    • For the sender, content, channel choice, and understanding of the audience matter most.

  • 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.

  • Defining Communication

    • Communication requires a sender, a message, and a recipient, although the receiver may not be present or aware of the sender's intent to communicate at the time of communication.
    • The communication process is complete once the receiver has understood the message of the sender.

  • E-Mail as an Entry Point

    • The sender must enable the receiver to unscramble that message, and this can be done in a variety of ways.
    • For example, business partners may agree on a password that will unlock the contents of an email and verify the sender while protecting the contents during transmission.

  • Improving the set of variables for a spam filter

    • An indicator variable could be used to represent whether there was prior two-way correspondence with a message's sender.
    • The variable could take value 1 if the sender of the message has previously sent messages flagged as spam.
    • If we look at the 1,090 emails where there was correspondence with the sender in the preceding 30 days, not one of these message was spam.
    • A contingency table for spam and a new variable that represents whether there had been correspondence with the sender in the preceding 30 days.

  • Noise as a Barrier to Communication

    • ., sender).
    • That is to say, issues in communication pertaining to distraction could affect the sender, the message itself, the channel it is being sent through, or the recipient of that message.

  • 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.

  • Downward Communication

    • Differences in experience, knowledge, levels of authority, and status can make it more likely that sender and recipient do not share the same assumptions or understanding of context, which can result in messages being misunderstood or misinterpreted.
