Code
The term code designates one of the six elements that make up Jakobson's model of communication. In order to function properly, that is, in order for it to be effectively transmitted, a message must contain a code that is understood by both sender (addresser) and receiver (addressee). In other words, there must be some measure of agreement about the meanings of the words used (or of the gestures, movements, colors, sounds).
Shared assumptions on the figurative level, to offer an example, might be the use of the term 'night' to indicate darkness, or a time to sleep. On the symbolic level, on the other hand, 'light' and 'height' are commonly associated with 'spirituality', 'goodness' or 'truth' whereas 'darkness' and 'depth' might suggest 'error' and 'evil'. Likewise, the term 'Jupiter' evokes a Roman god, and so on.
It must be noted that some cultural codes vary according to their place of origin. A reference to Jupiter', for instance, might be incomprehensible to Chinese peasants.
See also communication model.
