Communication and language

 On Sunday we had a robust discussion about communication. There were many ideas that people have suggested they will write about on their own blogs to continue the conversation. I have written about communication in a couple of articles. Helen and I also wrote a chapter together about communication in the creative process called 'In-the-Between-ness: Decolonising and re-inhabiting our dancing.'  I love the following quote from John dewey which sums up my perspective - 

'The Heart of language is not "expression" of something antecedent, much less expression "of antecedent thought". It is communication; the establishment of cooperation in an activity in which there are partners' - John Dewey Experience and Nature p. 179 

Looking forward to seeing your thoughts, in the comments below.
