Ferdinand de Saussure’s Circuit of Speech or Model of Communication
-------------------------
First Person ‘A’
-------------------------
First, a mental concept originates in the mind.
Second, he wants the representation of the mental concept through sound
According to Saussure, this is the initial process in communication. It is purely psychological.
Third, the first person ‘A’ then uses his vocal organs to produce sounds.
This is a physiological process.
Fourth, the sound waves travel from the mouth of the speaker to the ears of the listener.
This is a physical process.
-------------------------
Second Person ‘B’
-------------------------
Fifth, the circuit continues in the second person ‘B’ with another physiological action transmitting the syllables from the ears to the brain.
Sixth, he decodes the message by making his own association between
the sounds
and the mental concept.
Seventh, If the second person responds, a new act of speech begins.
