- Outline of communication
-
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to communication:
Communication – activity of conveying meaningful information. Communication requires a sender, a message, and an intended recipient, although the receiver need not be present or aware of the sender's intent to communicate at the time of communication; thus communication can occur across vast distances in time and space.
