'''Communication''' is when [[information]] is passed from a sender to a recipient using a [[Media|medium]]. There are different media that can be used: |
|||
*Visual communication (using [[body language]] or [[gesture]]s) |
|||
*Communicating with [[sound]]s (like human [[language]], but may also be the barking of a [[dog]]) |
|||
*Communication using [[touch]] |
|||
*Using smell |
|||
*Using [[writing]] |
|||
Thanks for reading, now fuc[[k]] off please 🙂 |

Communication can be [[wikt:speak|spoken]] (a word) or non-spoken (a [[smile]]). Communication has many ways, and happens all the time. Not only humans communicate, most other [[animal]]<nowiki/>s do too. Some communication is done without thinking, such as by changing in [[Nonverbal communication|posture]]. |
|||
Communication that tries to change somebody's mind may be called [[persuasion]] or [[propaganda]]. |
|||
== How communication works == |
|||
Communication works by exchanging information or messages. In very basic terms |
|||
#The sender makes a message, from an idea. This is usually called ''encoding'' |
|||
#The sender transmits the message through the medium. |
|||
#The recipient receives the message and ''decodes'' it. |
|||
Besides the content of the message, there are other things that are important. These are not part of the message itself, but rather of its context |
|||
*Who is communicating, and what status does the communicator have? |
|||
*Communication messages usually do not come alone, but are accompanied by other messages. These are also interpreted. |
|||
For a message exchange to be successful, the sender and the recipient must have agreed on a vocabulary. The word ''hedge'' can mean completely different things based on the context. In biology a hedge is a row of shrubs or trees that make a barrier or form a border. In finance, a hedge is an investment made to reduce the risk of another investment. In linguistics a hedge is a word or set of words that make other words less important. Without any information it is therefore very difficult to know which ''hedge'' is really meant by the speaker. |
