This site gives two examples that describe the linear and transactional communication models. It describes how the transactional model is more thorough. It shows simultaneous sending and receiving which indicates how there is constant communication and that "no one person in a relationship is responsible." The linear model only shows one way communication which only shows messages being transmitted by one person.
