Sadharanikarana and the Communication Model
There are two concepts which are close to my field of investigation these days. Sadharanikarana is the process of generalization to bring the vibhava (stimulants created by the author) and the anubhava (experiences of the stimulants created by the author) on same level of understanding. Communication, the process, is also designed in the same manner. It denotes the relationship between the sender and the receiver. My contentions: is there any similarity between the two or are they different? If there are similarities or if there are differences, what are those? The answers to these questions, I believe lead to an area of investigation called Cognitive Communication.
Any views?
