Chapter 1 Notes:
- Why do we communicate? How do we communicate? When do we communicate? Where do we communicate? Who do we communicate with?
- Three ways…action (one way), interaction (exchange), transaction (shared exchange- constitutes) (8-9)
- Symbols (arbitrary- abstract- [ambiguous])/ Signs (causal- concrete)—meaning (single/multiple/contextual/socially constructed) (10-14)
- Presentational (version, opinion), representational (fact) –nonverbal/ verbal
What do the authors mean when they say, “your communication with other people presents them with a way of looking at the world that is based on how you prefer them to see it”? (15)
Frames (frame of reference) (knowledge base) – framing assumptions
Intentionality (conscious, deliberate behavior)
What is meant by, “In light of our relational perspective on communication, you can usually make assumptions about the level of intentionality of people you know, and you make these assumptions from you know about them personally”? (17)
Five types of communication: (18)
Successful: intentionally sent/ accurately received
Miscommunication: intentionally sent/ inaccurately received
Accidental: unintentionally sent/ accurately received
Attempted: intentionally sent/ not received
*Danger: unintentionally sent/ inaccurately received
Give an example for each of these modes of communication.
Explain the meaning of communication as defined on page 19- 20 in italics.
“Communication is the transactional use of symbols, influenced, guided, and understood in the context of relationships, taken for granted understandings, meanings, and reality that it represents and creates as ways for people to share an understanding of the world that they inhabit together”.

Chapter 2 Notes:
– Langue: formal grammar , Parole: informal usage
– usage based on degrees of familiarity, relational assumptions, strict rules
– Where do we use them? Why? (26)
– Which is more likely “low code” and “high code”? (40)
–
– Polysemy: multiple meanings for the same word
– determinants of intended meaning: context, interpretation (ambiguity), relationship
– When can this run into problems for us? (27)
– Frames:
– Naming: distinguishes- contrasts, random (arbitrary- not intrinsically connected0
– Sapir/ Whorf hypothesis: “you think what you can say”, verbal comm makes conceptual distinctions. Naming labels and distinguishes.
– Do you agree?? why or why not?(29)
– Meanings:
– Denotative: blatant identification (literal)
– Connotative: implied (relational- ambiguous)
– Which is better? More social? (30)
– Presentation: subjective perspective or version, Representation: objective factual information
– How do these portrayals appear in society? Which is an “account”? Why? (35/45)
– Talk in relationships:
– instrumental function: to make something happen in the relationship
– indexical function: indicate something about the relationship (hypertext)
– essential function: creating relationship and defining it
– How does hypertexting relate to the indexical function?
– What is your impression of the “face” analogy (40)??
– -Accomodation: adapting your speech to your audience to gain or confirm a connection
– Convergence: moving toward the style of talk of the respondent
– Divergence: moving away from the style of talk of the respondent
– Why would we do either of these methods?
– Narratives: organized story
– Burke's Pentad: scene (where), agent (who), act (what happened), agency (how it happened), purpose (why, to what end: outcome)
– Where do narratives occur? In society? What affects can they have?
– What does culture, relationships, and context have to do with narratives?
– How do narratives relate to accounts? (42-46)

Chapter 3 Notes:
– Nonverbal communication is everything that communicates a message sans words.
– Elements: kinesics (movement), proxemics (space), vocalics (voice), chronemics (time), haptics (touch)
– What are some specific examples? What is backchannel comm, turn taking?(54/ 65-76)
– Decoding: drawing meaning from an observation ( he smiles: “he is happy”), Encoding: sending meaning through nonverbal behavior ( I smile: “ I am happy”)
– Where do we derive these meanings? (55)
– Static: fixed elements of an interaction (furniture arrangement), Dynamic: changing elements of an interaction (posture)
– How can these elements negatively affect an interaction? Positively affect it? (55-56)
– Nonverbal guidelines:
– symbolic: polysemic
– rule guided: appropriateness of behavior
– culturally bound: elements
– personal: context
– ambiguous: interpretative
– less controlled: (leakage)
– continuous: non- stop communication
– What is “leakage”? Do you agree that non-verbal is less controlled than verbal comm? (60)
– Nonverbal functions:
– interconnects with verbal comm. (repeat, substitute, moderate, contradict, emphasize)
– regulates interaction: how you are to behave and desired behavior of others (regulators- punctuate)
– identifies others: identifiers
– transmits emotional information: three kinds: attitudes about the other, attitude about the situation, attitude toward yourself (decode, encode) (elements)
– establishes meaning: relationships develop
– What are common identifiers? What are some examples of the ways we portray “attitudes”? (63-64)

Notes about SOURCES for Informative Speech
Reminder:
You must have at least ONE source for your informative speech. Cite this source at the bottom of your outline and at the end of your powerpoint.
This source should simply demonstrate that you have done a little research to deepen your knowledge on the subject. I am more than happy to help with ideas and here are some examples.
If you are making food, then look up some recipes that demonstrate variation. This is a source.
If you are doing something technological, then look up a few sites that discuss this topic or perhaps and forum or chatroom about it.
If you are creating a blog, show some competing sites.
I am mainly concerned that you have a well rounded approach and are able to expand on your topic.

Outline.
Make sure that the outline is in a KEYWORD format!! It should not look like an essay. Follow the format described in class!!!
Syllabus change!!
I have changed the point values for mini app and the informative speech. You will only be required to do ONE mini app instead of two!!
Therefore, the one mini app will be worth 100 points rather than 75 each! The informative speech will be worth 100 points rather than 50!!
Informative speech--100 points!! (not 50)
ONE mini app -- 100 points!! (not 75 x2)

25 pts for format: APA or MLA with proper documentation (intro- body- conclusion)
25 pts for critical thinking (I want to see a level of deep thought and engagement in which you show that you spent some time pondering and reflecting on this assignment.)
100 total points possible
- At least one minute in length

Mini app criteria
Come up with an idea or question concerning one concept in your assigned chapter. This concept will likely appear in bold face. The answer the question or respond to the idea using critical thinking and self reflection based on the surrounding text concerning the concept and your personal experience. Make sure to use proper in- text citations and have a works cited page.
Your paper should do three things:
Introduction of the paper.
1. Present your concept and interpret it in your own words (likely paraphrasing the text- thus citing the text)
2. Present your personal experience, giving relevant details.
3. Synthesize the connection between your experience and the concept.
Conclusion of the paper.
Bibliography using the textbook and any other reference material used. Textbook is the only required resource.
Paper should be 2-3 pages in length realistically.
Use the post about the rubric to ensure that you have completed all required criteria.
Basically, I want you to choose a concept (broad or specific). Think of a situation that relates. Briefly interpret the concept you have chosen using proper citation. Put the concept you use in boldface. Next, briefly describe your experience. Finally, synthesize the concept in terms of the experience and talk about what you have learned.

Ch13: Relating
*Find three sources online that support your topic. How are they similar, how do they differ?
*Consider your audience. Where do you think they stand on your topic? Take a poll. Analyze your audience using the Social Judgment theory.
*Think of a syllogism and enthymeme for your speech.
Informative Speeches: definition/ description
- Expository: in depth analysis: definition
- Process: how to speech: description
Strategies
- Develop relational connection: Why does it matter to you? How does it affect you?
- Narrow focus: stick to the thesis
- Adapt to complexity: summarize, help audience understand
- Clear and simple
- Clear organization and guide audience
- Stress significance
- Choose your language: concrete, abstract, descriptive
- Relate unknown material to common knowledge
- Motivate your audience
Persuasive Speeches: convince, actuate
- Convince: impact audience thinking
- Claim of policy: call to action
- Claim of value: belief (good, bad, helpful, harmful)
- Claim of fact: true or false (representation)
- Claim of conjecture: determined true or false (presentation)
- Audience approaches: reinforce thought, change thought, create new thought
- Actuate: impact audience behavior
- Reinforce existing behavior
- Alter existing behavior
- Cease existing behavior
- Enact new behavior
- Avoid future behavior
- Proofs: Pathos ( emotional appeals), Logos ( logical reasoning – inductive/ deductive), Ethos ( credibility)
- Syllogism: A is true, B is like A, and therefore B is true. ALL is high quality, Great Value is similar to ALL, and Great Value is high quality.
- Enthymeme: syllogism missing a piece. ALL is high quality and Great Value is like ALL. You figure out the rest. IPODS are MP 3 players. MP 3 players must be like IPODS.
- Social Judgment Theory: audience relation to topic: latitude of acceptance ( range of positions), anchor position ( preferred position), latitude of rejection ( unacceptable points), latitude of non commitment ( positions of flexibility)
- Variables: audience involvement (recognition, significance, importance), assimilation effect ( in your latitude of acceptance- strongest), contrast effect ( in your latitude of rejection- strongest)
