The document outlines three models of communication: linear communication which is one-way with no feedback; interactive communication which allows for two-way information exchange but not simultaneously; and transactional communication which provides two-way simultaneous exchange with no one in control. Examples of each model are provided, with transactional communication, such as greeting a cat, being identified as the most commonly used form.
