Swapping of encoder-decoder roles in communication happens due to
Feedback analysis
In the communication process the encoder (sender) converts ideas into a message and the decoder (receiver) interprets it. In a two-way, interactive exchange these roles keep alternating: the receiver responds, and in doing so becomes the sender, while the original sender now receives. This reversal, or swapping, of encoder and decoder roles is driven by feedback.
Feedback analysis is the process by which the receiver interprets the message and formulates a response, then transmits that response back. When the receiver analyses what was communicated and reacts, they take on the encoder's role, and the original sender takes on the decoder's role. Thus the continuous analysis and return of feedback is exactly what causes the encoder-decoder roles to be swapped.
Why the other options are wrong:
Cognitive disruptions refer to breakdowns in thinking or processing that hinder understanding; they are barriers, not the cause of role reversal.
Semantic noise is interference arising from differences in meaning or interpretation of words; it distorts a message rather than causing sender and receiver to exchange roles.
Weak channelisation refers to a poor or inadequate transmission channel, which weakens communication rather than swapping the communicating roles.
Only feedback analysis explains the swapping of encoder and decoder roles.
Correct answer: Feedback analysis
