<DIV><FONT face="AGaramond Bold" size=4> Yesterday I attempted
to describe, IMHO, what happens when communication occurs. Last night,
when I should have been sleeping, I realized that the attempt had failed to
be explicitly as inclusive as it should have been. So what was a HO is now
a VHO: </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="AGaramond Bold" size=4> Communication occurs
in events. Natural languages are not its only media. Often these
events require reciprocal participation - output and input exchanges -
between communicators and communicatees; often they do not.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="AGaramond Bold" size=4> Communication events
occur when the presence, appearance, and/or act(s) of communicators are
perceived and interpreted (assigned significance) by communicatees.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="AGaramond Bold" size=4> Communicators are
animate (botanical?) and inanimate (e.g. people, pets, works of art, clouds,
etc.). Their participation in communication events may be intentional or
not intentional.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="AGaramond Bold" size=4> Communicatees are
animate (and botanical?) individuals capable of participating in and
interpreting communication events. Their interpretations may be accurate
or inaccurate.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="AGaramond Bold" size=4> If I'm wrong
here, I'll appreciate being set straight.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="AGaramond Bold" size=4> Best to
all,</FONT></DIV>
