A Jakobsian analysis of communication in veterinary anatomic pathology

ABSTRACT

Since I figured out that anatomic pathology is communication (5), I got interested in this subject and If I'm assuming myself as a communicator, then, I logically need to study and understand it. When I looked for this, Jakobson's explanation (4) was the most elegant, eloquent and simplest explanation I've found. If you doubt me, just search for this in youtube, there are a lot of animated videos about it. So, Jakobson divides communication into six crucial points adresser, message, addressee, context, code and channel. The adresser is the person who will write and send the message to the addressee, the receptor, the person who will read it. The context is what the message is about and the code is the language used. Finally, the channel is the physical channel, a way where the message is written, it may be a paper or a video or any other. Keep in mind that those points are not always isolated from each other, they are frequently overlapped, and this is just a didactic organization that is much more easily to understand in a fluxogram(AU)
