Communication Task
A Communication Task is an information sharing task (between two cognitive agents) by sharing meaningful messages.
- Context:
- It can be instantiated in Communication Acts.
- It can range from being a Non-Linguistic Communication Task (of non-linguistic communication acts) to being a Linguistic Communication Task (of linguistic communication acts).
- …
- Example(s):
- a Linguistic Communication Task, such as writing and speaking.
- a Technical Commnication Task, such as: legal communication or scientific communication.
- …
- Counter-Example(s):
- a Data Sharing Task.
- an Event Logging.
- a Learning Task.

- Communication and expression in language, pictures, diagrams, gesture, music etc. is rich with figurative aspects, such as metaphor, metonymy, hyperbole and irony. People engage in such communication and expression in a variety of contexts and with a range of effects. Modelling figurative patterns of communication / expression is a key aim of academic disciplines such as linguistics, philosophy, discourse studies, and psycholinguistics, and automatically understanding such phenomena is a long-standing and now expanding endeavour within Artificial Intelligence. A particularly interesting current area of research is work on automatically generating as well as understanding metaphor -- both understanding and generation are emerging as important sites for addressing long-standing problems in linguistics, artificial intelligence, philosophy, and cognitive science more generally. In addition, some researchers have suggested that metaphor can be an intrinsic part of thought, not just of external communication / expression.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- . How philosophical thinking on figurative expression and thought can/should be exploited/heeded by relevant AI researchers
- . How computational attempts to model figurative expression can aid philosophical thinking about it
- . How the production of figurative expression reflects speakers' conceptualisations, goals and commitments

- Communication (from Latin commūnicāre, meaning "to share" ) is the activity of conveying information through the exchange of thoughts, messages, or information, as by speech, visuals, signals, writing, or behavior. It is the meaningful exchange of information between two or more living creatures. One definition of communication is “any act by which one person gives to or receives from another person information about that person's needs, desires, perceptions, knowledge, or affective states. Communication may be intentional or unintentional, may involve conventional or unconventional signals, may take linguistic or non-linguistic forms, and may occur through spoken or other modes.” [1]
Communication requires a sender, a message, and a recipient, although the receiver doesn't have to 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. Communication requires that the communicating parties share an area of communicative commonality. The communication process is complete once the receiver understands the sender's message.
Communicating with others involves three primary steps:
◦Thought: First, information exists in the mind of the sender. This can be a concept, idea, information, or feelings.
◦Encoding: Next, a message is sent to a receiver in words or other symbols.
◦Decoding: Lastly, the receiver translates the words or symbols into a concept or information that a person can understand.
