    An Expanded Inventory of Forms of Communication


    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

  • 3.  RESEARCH REQUEST - Forms of Communication

    Posted 07-30-1997 09:41
    Forms of communication is a little vague. Are you looking at the medium
    of communication? or mode? or perception?

    People often have a difficult time putting a lable on communication and
    what is it area of study.
