Types of Communication
{"Image DocumentName": "Types of Communication", "Image ImageDescription": "Direct (intentional) communication deals with meaning -- statements that provide few alternative understandings: Norm caught a 5-pound black bass. Sally lived in Israel for six months. Direct communication is common and offers few challenges. Indirect (inferential) communication provides more alternative understandings. A friend is wearing one black and one brown sock. What are some possible meanings you can ascribe to this observation? Your friend is a sloppy dresser? Your friend is colorblind? Your friend dressed in the dark? Your friend has a pile of dirty clothes and had only two unmatched but clean socks in the dresser drawer? Indirect communication often involves metaphors or idioms. You\u2019re way off base. That assignment is a piece of cake. Write down an example of each type of language that you have experienced recently.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
