Etymological Perspective
communication uses symbols to represent things, process, ideas, or events. These symbols are arbitrary constructions that represent a communicator’s thought.
Symbolic Perspective
defines communication as any sign-mediated interaction that follows combinatorial, context-specific, content-coherent rules.
