The organon model, formulated by German psychologist and linguist Karl Ludwig Bühler (27 May 1879 – 24 October 1963), [3] defined the functions of communication according to which linguistic communication can be described. Bühler's work influenced Roman Jakobson for his communication model.
Bühler identified the following three communicative functions:
- the expressive function (Ausdrucksfunktion)
- the representation function (Darstellungsfunktion)
- the conative function (Appellfunktion, i.e. appealing function).
