In/in discussing/vbg the/at process/nn of/in communication/nn ,/, Loomis/np defines/vbz it/ppo as/cs ``/`` the/at process/nn by/in which/wdt information/nn ,/, decisions/nns ,/, and/cc directives/nns are/ber transmitted/vbn among/in actors/nns and/cc the/at ways/nns in/in which/wdt knowledge/nn ,/, opinions/nns ,/, and/cc attitudes/nns are/ber formed/vbn ,/, or/cc modified/vbn by/in interaction/nn ''/'' ./.
