Wow! I thought "communicative" meant "free-spoken, loquacious, voluble, expansive" ie., "inclined to communicate or impart; talkative" and so you would use it describing a person, not a "text".
So, can you say "communicative disease" meaning "contagious disease"? (Note: Even in Spanish I heard "un texto comunicativo", but "comunicativo" applies in proper sense to persons, no to "texts". Properly talking in Spanish would be Para que un texto comunique bien/se entienda/llegue a sus lectores/receptores.../ tienen que darse las siguientes condiciones: Ain't that right? |

Así es, Robindesbois, así lo he visto usado, y así se usa. Pero hablando desde un punto de vista un poco "purista", Moliner define comunicativo, -a («Estar, Ser») adj. Aplicado a personas, inclinado a comunicar a otros sus pensamientos, estados de ánimo, etc. Abierto, expansivo, franco. Y el DRAE nos da: comunicativo, va. (Del lat. communicatīvus).
1. adj. Que tiene aptitud o inclinación y propensión natural a comunicar a alguien lo que posee. 2. adj. Se dice también de ciertas cualidades. Virtud comunicativa. 3. adj. Fácil y accesible al trato de los demás. O sea, hablando propiamente, se aplica a personas o "cualidades". Pero, entre tú y yo, aparte de lo que diga el diccionario, "tu frase es comunicativa" para cualquiera que hable español... y algún día, al estar este uso totalmente extendido, también se incluirá en el diccionario... O tempora, o mores! (¡oh tiempos, oh costumbres!) (como decía Cicerón, creo.) |

To further explain: "communicable" means able to communicate or transmit. It is the transmit definition that makes the word able to be used with diseases.
"transmittable disease"' would be a synonym of "communicable disease". Communicative is just as you described it jpablo. In every day English I don't think I've ever heard it used to describe anything other than a person. |

Thank you LibraryLady, that makes a bit more sense to me with the dictionaries at hand, as in "capable of being easily communicated or transmitted". Although I see there's 4,240 hits in Google for Communicative Disease as in "The World's Most Communicative Disease" for example. So, I take the usage is going in that direction too.

Yes, the more I think about it the more I realize that I have heard the phrase "communicative disease," but when I hear the phrase it sounds very off to me. Like the disease is about to hold a conversation with me
