Ludwig's WRAP-UP
In summary, while the phrase "according to communication" appears in various sources, Ludwig AI suggests that it is generally incorrect due to its lack of precision. The analysis reveals that this phrase, while intended to attribute information to a communicative act, lacks the clarity needed for effective communication. To improve clarity, it is best to specify the source or type of communication, such as "according to the email" or "as communicated by the spokesperson". More precise alternatives, such as "based on communication" or "as per communication", can be used but specifying the source is always better.

FAQs
What does "according to communication" mean?

How can I use "based on communication" in a sentence?
You might say, "Based on communication with the team, we've decided to postpone the deadline." This indicates that the decision was informed by discussions with the team members.
