Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The triangle of meaning explains the relationship between three interconnected components of communication: the referent (the object or idea being communicated), the symbol (the word or nonverbal cue used to represent the referent), and the referent's meaning (the subjective interpretation that is attached to the referent and symbol by each individual). This concept helps to explain how our frame of reference, or our individual subjective experiences, can influence our interpretation of communication cues.
