Sharing of meaning between two positions of thought within a person is called

Concept

Communication can be classified by the number and relationship of participants. The prefixes intra- and inter- show whether the process stays inside one person or occurs between people.

Application

The stem describes two positions of thought sharing meaning within the same person. That is an internal communicative process, so the applicable term is intrapersonal communication.

Contrast

• Selfish describes a motive or orientation, not a standard level of communication based on participants.

• Interpersonal communication involves separate people exchanging meaning with one another.

• Spiritual communication concerns a spiritual or transcendent orientation rather than the participant boundary described here.

Cross-check

If the exchange crossed from one person to another, inter- would apply; because both thought positions remain within one person, intra- is the consistent prefix.

Result

Therefore, the term is intrapersonal communication.
