6 areas of communication in order of increasing complexity: Intrapersonal- conversation with oneself, think over and rationalize things in our minds. Interpersonal: most important form of communication, discuss with another what goes on during our intrapersonal comm, the transactional process of creating shared meaning between 2 people with the goal of common understanding. Sometimes you end up with something better or dependent on activity by both people. Share through the norms of communication- what is expected in our society ex: not looking person in the eye when conversating is an offense in america. Able to communicate through language, no matter how basic: ex: shared meaning in sayings used in certain groups like the military, sports, workplace, etc. Minimum goal is for other person to understand what we are saying. When lying to a person, we really want them to accept the lie: ex: discussing with friend where to eat lunch- goal is to find a place to eat.
