Introduction to «Using Language»

Basic Ideas

As in all Domains, Communication-RL5 has a Principal Typology which contains different ways (methods, approaches) to optimize use of the communicative elements found in the Primary Hierarchy.

I label this TYpology: Using Language (PH'5).

In studying the elements of communication (PH5), the focus was on a simple communicative event where the sender and the receiver could be considered separately.

However, in studying the use of language PH'5, the communicator is always considering the impact on the recipient—who may be immediately present or may be distant in time and/or place.

The purpose and context of the communication will therefore determine the most suitable way to use language.

Structure of this Section

This section of the Communication Satellite will cover:

  • Orientation to Using Language.
  • Presentation and comparison of the 7 Methods.
  • Use of a Typology Essences Table (TET) to reveal additional properties.
  • Some applications of the framework.

Having developed the TET, the following section will consider the Spiral that unifies key values of the discrete methods.
