DEFINITIONS
A good definition of communication tells us what behaviours count as communication, which ones don’t and also its essential characteristics.

DISCOVERY OR CONSTRUCTION? Describing
something that already exists: objective.
Theoretically there is one correct definition for everything.
Describing the practical use of something: subjective.
Multiple definitions based on individual needs and experiences.

COMMUNICATION IS … … a process of acting on information
… the discriminatory response of an organism to stimulus
… an effort after meaning
… a human process through which we make sense out of the world and share that sense with others
… the transmission of ideas, emotions, skill, etc by the use of symbols …

DEFINING COMMUNICATION
How broad is communication?
Is communication intentional?
Is communication sender or receiver based?
Is all communication symbolic?

MODELS Explanatory function: breaking down
complex processes into constituent parts and showing how the parts are connected.
Predictive function: helps answer questions about the future (based on patterns in the model).
Control function: helps us guide our behaviour and work out where we may have gone wrong (how to control a process).

THE DRAWBACKS OF MODELS
They are incomplete
They can be misleading if oversimplified
There are many ways to model a process
They make assumptions about processes
