• Við þurfum að geta miðlað upplýsingum, svo við notum það tungumál sem dugir til þess miðað við þann vettvang sem um ræðir. En það er ekki nóg að þekkja merkingu, málfræði og setningarfræði, það þarf einnig að þekkja venjur og menningarleg viðmið til að geta haft fullkomin samskipti. Ef þú þekkir getu vettvangsins og getur talað á sameiginlegu tungumáli sem allir skilja og þekkja, þá getur þú miðlað upplýsingum.
