Key Concept 重要概念: Communication コミュニケーション

Communication is the exchange or transfer of signals, facts, ideas and symbols. It requires a sender, a message and an intended receiver. Communication involves the activity of conveying information or meaning. Effective communication requires a common 'language' (which may be written, spoken or non-verbal).

コミュニケーションは、メッセージ、事実、アイデア、記号などのやりとりや伝達です。送り手、メッセージ、所定の受け取り手が必要です。情報や意味を伝達する活動が「コミュニケーション」にあたります。効果的な「コミュニケーション」には、共通の「言語」（文語、口語、言葉によらないものも含む）が必要です。
