>This is an intermediate draft of An Expanded Inventory of Forms of
>Communication. It is part of a white paper I am writing for a project in
>the framework of the European Commission INFO-2000 initiative. I seek
>suggestions for forms of communication that may not yet be incorporated
>into the inventory.
>
>This inventory began with a broad model (Judge 1984: 137) of communication
>forms. The model distinguishes between analytic media and synthetic,
>between global and individual. What is purposely does not do, however, is
>distinguish between communication forms in terms of content, structure,
>process or system. The model attempts to represent all forms of
>communication and communicating.
>
>This inventory, like the 1984 model, is descriptive. As an inventory, it
>contains any tool, process, structure or medium that can be used to
>communicate. It contains forms of behavior, systems or processes that may
>not originally have been intended as communication but that can be used as
>communication. Sex, for example, originated in physical evolution long
>before evolution gave birth to the human race. Once we adapted sex to our
>own purposes, it became an important form of communication in human
>relationships. Communication need not be the primary purpose of a
>communication medium. An opinion survey may not generally be considered a
>form of communication, but every opinion survey communicates a structure of
>ideas and issues, however incidental that communication may be to the
>primary purpose of the survey. Communication need not be moral to
>communicate. Torture has long been used to communicate ideology or persuade
>a victim to modify belief or behavior. The goal of the inventory is to list
>all possible forms of communication, good or bad, simple or complex,
>intentional or incidental.
>
>To make the inventory as complete as possible, I ask colleagues to add any
>forms of communication I may have missed. I will be grateful for
>suggestions of any tool, process, structure or medium that can be used to
>communicate that may not be listed here.
>
>You may simply list any additions and send them to me or interpolate
>suggestions alphabetically into the list. If you choose to interpolate, I
>request that you use ALL
>UPPER CASE LETTERS so that your suggestions stand out.
>
>Thank you
