The Semantic Triangle Model by Ogden and Richards explains that effective communication requires the correct relationship between three components: the symbol (word or signal), the referent (the actual object or concept in the real world), and thought (the mental construction or meaning). When a symbol is correctly understood, properly connected to its referent, and accurately processed through thought, communication is effective; however, misinterpretation of any component creates a semantic barrier that hinders communication.

Ogden & Richards Semantic Triangle Model 😱 | Easy Explanation | Apni University #shorts #ugcnet2026Added:
Today we will try to understand the Semantic Triangle model of Oakden and Richards.
Because look, you all know that due to semantic barrier your effective communication gets hampered. So if we understand this model which has been tried to be explained to you in the form of a triangle, then the first thing that comes in it is the symbol. The meaning of the symbol should be written as the symbol you want to understand.
He should be seen. What would that signal be?
What will you do with the signal? As a referent, how do you use that thing in the physical world, in your normal world, and in that, your thought will come at the end, the third point of the triangle, thought, that is, you can also call it reference. Now how are you mentally constructing him?
Suppose you understood the symbol correctly, made it referential in real life in the right way and then used it in your thought process, then your use of the symbol is correct. But suppose you interpret it wrongly, then it will act as a kind of barrier in your communication also.
So I think you must have understood the triangle model of Ockden and Richards.
Thank you so much.
