general and technical comm_jp
The document differentiates between general communication and technical communication. General communication is informal, lacks a set pattern, and is not always aimed at a specific audience, while technical communication is formal, follows a set pattern, and is intended for a specific audience using technical terms. Examples of both types highlight their purposes, such as user manuals for maintaining machinery and follow-up letters for customer relations.
