Summary/Abstract: Analysis of mimicry as an act of communication opens up new perspectives for the study of phenomena of mimicry, but it can also widen our understanding of communication. The present article takes a look at the theory of communication specifically from the viewpoint of this unusual object of study. First, the author gives a short introduction into communication theory and after that focuses on two topics: possibilities for communication between members of different species and differences between participants' intentions in phenomena of mimicry.
