Roman Jacobson's communication model

Abstract

The subject of this study revolves around the communicative model of the Russian scientist Roman Jakobson (1896-1982) and includes linguistic studies that deal with many problems at the linguistic and other levels, with the aim of analyzing concepts related to the linguistic system, its tools and elements. The French semiologist De Saussure was the first to develop a structural theory. Through it, he sketched the method of dialogue between the interlocutors within the auditory and verbal framework. However, many linguistic foundations in turn resulted in various communicative models that depend on demonstrating various tools of analysis, classification, and theorizing. Jacobson is considered one of the greatest theorists in the field of linguistics, structuralism, semiotics, poetics, and others, which made his research a base. Intellectualism of many thinkers after him, perhaps the most prominent of whom are Lévi-Strauss and Lacan. He was considered the true founder of communication theory, through the hexagonal communication model that he presented to become a reference in all literary, linguistic, media, literary, artistic, and other branches through the linguistic functions performed by the factors shaping the communication process between the sender and the reciever. Therefore, the approach followed was analytical, and also comparative, through which we concluded the importance of Jacobson's communicative model in contemporary studies, and reached the conclusion that his model was comprehensive and functional.
