The organon model is a model of communication by German psychologist and linguist Karl Ludwig Bühler (1879 – 1963). It was published in German in 1934.[1] and not translated into English until 1990.[2] In it he defined the functions of communication according to which linguistic communication can be described. Bühler's work influenced the communication model of Roman Jakobson.[3]

Buhler's model also apparently influenced Lev Vygotsky who, in discussing memory and goal-directed learning, wrote: "According to K. Buhler, speech thinks for us."[4]: 449, 453
Bühler identified the following three communicative functions:
- the expressive function (Ausdrucksfunktion)
- the representation function (Darstellungsfunktion)
- the conative function (Appellfunktion, i.e. appealing function).
