Dimension 906 of 1,100 · Health Lens
Written Communication measures the extent to which an expression involves producing, handling, or referring to writing as a means of recording, conveying, or exchanging information. It encompasses basic marking and word production, note taking, letters and messages, and more formal or sustained written correspondence.
Minimal Written Communication
Expressions activating this band contain little to no clear written-communication content, or mention language and choice in ways that are incidental rather than centered on writing itself. The expression may instead focus on unrelated activities, opinions, or general situations.
Low Written Communication
Expressions activating this band refer to writing-adjacent materials or social situations in which written communication may occur, such as paper, books, notes, or written remarks, without making writing the main action. Writing is present as a light contextual element rather than a sustained communicative act.
Moderate Written Communication
Expressions activating this band describe direct acts of writing, reading, scribbling, or putting thoughts and information into words. The writing is concrete and active, but typically simple, personal, or task-focused.
High Written Communication
Expressions activating this band involve functional written production with recognizable competence or purpose, such as writing one's name, composing notes, sending written information, or handling documented communication. The writing serves a clear practical or interpersonal function.
Intensive Written Communication
Expressions activating this band center on explicit written correspondence, including letters, mail, dated messages, updates, and follow-up communication. Writing appears as a deliberate channel for ongoing exchange, recordkeeping, or formal contact.
