From the Paper:
"White and Chapman (1996:11) are reported in the work of Baker (nd) to be responsible for introducing into the communication system (both human and interpersonal) and it is stated that "...since that time, an array of human filters that are influenced by the person' horizon of experience (such as motive, affect, attention, knowledge, attitudes, values, and beliefs) have been specified." (Baker, nd) However, while the social context is addressed the larger social context is not addressed directly in previous studies. Baker states that the contextual approach "...to communication focuses not just on content but on the larger context of communication. It focuses on nonverbal cues as well as verbal content. It also looks at the relational context between the sender and receiver within the larger social/organizational/cultural context. It sees words as symbols interpreted in context." (2008)"Baker additionally notes that communication is stressed as being an interaction that is symbolic in nature and that "created meaning and one's sense of both self and society. Discourse analysis is an extension of elaboration of the contextual perspective [that] rather than looking at a particular interpersonal exchange or sequences of exchanges, discourse analysis looks at the overall body of communication (including formal and informal, oral and written communications of all kinds)." (Baker, nd) Finally, Baker states that discourse "gives rise to objectively known collective representation that has inter-subjective validity. In this sense, discourse is both interpersonal and collective, both inter-subjective and contextual." (Baker, nd)"
