The document discusses several models of communication: 1) Linear models describe one-way communication from sender to receiver, including Aristotle's model. 2) Transactional models involve two-way participation of sender and receiver constructing meaning. 3) Shannon-Weaver's model involves six elements - source, transmitter, channel, receiver, destination, and noise - and conceptualized "noise" interfering with messages. 4) Interactive models describe communication as a process where participants alternate as sender and receiver to generate meaning through sending messages and receiving feedback within contexts.
