Words as containers• He put a lot of emotion into his words• The story was filled with meaning• His speech was packed with ideas

Communication as transmission
• He sent a clear message• You didn’t get your point across• He hurled criticism at me

Reading as unpacking• I got a lot out of your lecture• You gave me a lot to think about• His words were hollow

The Conduit Metaphor• Conduit: A pipe, tube or channel• Conduit metaphor: Talking about
language – and communication in general – as if ideas are concrete things that can be taken from one person and sent into the brains of other people like money transferred from customer to bank via a pneumatic tube (Michael Reddy, 1979)

Consequences• Does communication really work like
the conduit metaphor? • How does unconsciously accepting
the conduit metaphor affect those who initiate (send) communication?
• How does it affect those on the receiving end?

The non-apology apology• I’m sorry if anyone was offended• I’m sorry for hurting you• I’m sorry that your cat died

Conduit metaphor & media• Communication is not one-to-one,
mutual or in person• Framing = attempt to establish
similar context, or at least signal intended context
• Language is an imperfect tool of communication. Unfortunately, it’s the main one we have.
