Patrick,
It might be worth considering some of the issues raised in http://eight2late.wordpress.com/2011/05/19/on-the-meaning-and-interpretation-of-project-documents/; which goes further than the basic ‘sender-receiver’ model; I’d go even further than K though, and suggest you also consider language-action theory (http://web.squ.edu.om/med-Lib/med/net/e-pathways-net/Docs/Language-Action%20Perspective.htm).
Communication also has to deal with the complexity of professional and organisational culture boundaries, the emotional states of the parties and the prominence of the context (Buehler’s model partly deals with this, I think.)
