    Aristotle developed the first model of communication in the 4th century BC known as Aristotle's Model of Communication. The model focuses on the speaker and speech and divides communication into 5 primary elements - the speaker, speech, occasion, audience, and effect. It is a speaker-centered model where the speaker actively delivers a prepared speech to a passive audience in order to influence or persuade them according to the occasion. While groundbreaking as the first communication model, it is limited by not accounting for feedback or the potential for communication barriers or failures between speaker and audience.

    Aristotle(384-322 B.

    C) was a Greek philosopher and writer born in Stagira,


    Northern Greece. He was also the teacher of Alexander the Great. He studied
    physics, logic, mathematics, etc. While exploring the human nature scientifically,
    Aristotle developed a linear model of communication for oral communication
    known as Aristotle's Model of Communication. This is considered as the first
    model of communication and was proposed before 300 B.C. It is also the is most
    widely accepted among all communication models.
    Aristotle Model is mainly focused on speaker and speech. It can be broadly
    divided into 5 primary elements: Speaker, Speech, Occasion,
    Audience and Effect.
    The Aristotle's communication model is a speaker centered model as the
    speaker has the most important role in it and is the only one active. It is the
    speaker's role to deliver a speech to the audience. The role of the audience is
    passive, influenced by the speech. This makes the communication
    process one way, from speaker to receiver.
    The speaker must organize the speech beforehand, according to the target
    audience and situation (occasion). The speech must be prepared so that the
    audience be persuaded or influenced from the speech. He believed "Rhetoric"
    is the study of communication and persuasion and different message or speech
    should be made for different audiences at different situations to get desired
    effects or to establish a propaganda. This model was highly used to
    develop public speaking skills and create a propaganda at that time so, it
    is less focused on intrapersonal or interpersonal communication. Even if the
    model is speaker oriented and focuses on audience interaction in
    communication, there is no concept of feedbacks.
    For instance, a politician (speaker) gives a speech to get votes from the civilians
    (audience) at the time of election (occasion). The civilians only vote if they are
    influenced by the things the politician says in his speech so the content must be
    very impressive to influence the mass and the speaker must design the message
    very carefully. The speech must be clear as well as the speaker must have a very
    good non-verbal communication with the audience like eye contact.

    This example is a classic case of Aristotle Model of Communication depicting all


    the elements in the model.

    Criticisms of Aristotle's Model of


    Communication
    There are few criticisms around this model. Some of them are

    There is no concept of feedback, it is one way from speaker to audience.

    There is no concept of communication failure like noise and barriers.


    This model can only be used in public speaking.
