Document Summary

Interpersonal communication: we communicate content and relational messages. Task oriented: communication with the intention of getting something done. It can only be covered up with more communication. The same words can be said, but never in the exact same way. Ic serves many purposes to learn, influence, relate, play, etc. Interpersonal communication is complicated: who i think i am, who i think you think i am, who you think i am, who you think you are, who you think i think you are, who i think you are. Arbitrary: it is only a tree because language-speakers decided that. Parole we all have a very small portion of the lexicon that we resort to using in every day vocabulary.

Equality communicator1 and communicator2 simultaneously sending messages back and forth via channels.
