| Communication: In general, communication is the transmission of information between several entities (people, animals, cells) that are able to process this information. In communication, information is copied and not merely transmitted, since it is not lost at the original location. New information emerges where applicable in the individuals involved in the communication. The aim of communication is to change the information of a recipient. Human communication also includes the manner of transmission, e.g. ironic coloring of a quotation or the knowledge about the credibility of a source. See also information, language, communication theory, actions, understanding, frame theories._____________Annotation: The above characterizations of concepts are neither definitions nor exhausting presentations of problems related to them.

Niklas Luhmann on Communication - Dictionary of Arguments
Baraldi I 89 Communication/Luhmann/GLU: specific operation of social systems: 1) Communication 2) Information 3) Understanding the difference between communication and information. Communication is not the same as information, it only happens when information is understood - information is a selection between what is said and unsaid. Understanding is selection between communication and information. >Understanding/Luhmann, >Information/Luhmann. - - - Reese-Schäfer II 47 Society/Communication/Luhmann/Reese-Schäfer: Special case: only society operates with communication. - There is no communication outside of society. - Therefore, it is necessary closed. - This is the only system for which this is true. - Then no observer can take an outside standpoint. >Society/Luhmann, >Observation/Luhmann. - - - AU Cass 13 Communication/Language/Karl Bühler/Luhmann: instead of "transmission model": - unity of three components 1) Information, what it is about 2) Communication 3) Understanding Communication already existed in antiquity. LuhmannVsSpeech Act Theory: is the idea that this triad could be dismantled into acts. - Karl Bühler: all of them are only functions. ((s) Function/(s): Is not an act.) >Speech act theory/Luhmann. AU Cass 13 Communication/LuhmannVsHabermas: communication does not serve the creation of consensus. - If that does not work, it is simply declared the norm and claimed "it was supposed to be like that." But we should not turn an impossibility into a standard. >Communication/Habermas. SchelskyVsHabermas: Does communication stop when this goal is reached? Solution/Luhmann: communication is not an act which would have to be brought under a standard - only communicating is action. Communication is open when viewed without additions like truth. - We can also say "no". - On the other hand, we do not have the opportunity to start all over again. Without any authority it is impossible.. - "No" does not terminate communication. Communication could only be terminated by misunderstanding. Communication ensues when"yes" and "no" are not yet decided. - - - AU Cass 12 Speech act Theory/Language/Communication/LuhmannVsSpeech Act Theory: Language use is not an act. - You always need understanding, so it goes on. Action: would only be a release without understanding. LuhmannVsHabermas: therefore, no theory of communicative action is possible. >Communicative action, >Communication theory. Speech: here the receiver is initially excluded. He comes only later as a disciplining moment in the theory. - And as a subject. >Language/Luhmann, >Subject/Luhmann._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
