I am looking for terms similar to "spoken language" and "written language" but with a bit more broadness; essentially a general way to categorize speech which is "performed" in the moment it is meant to be received, such as spoken language or sign language (i.e. the speech is not necessarily auditory, but the person you are speaking to must be present to receive the message) vs. speech which is "recorded" and can be accessed later, such as writing, pictograms, or even simple comics, like you would see on Ikea instructions, for example.
It seems to me as though these broader categories ought to exist, especially insofar as they might be useful from an anthropological perspective (e.g. that recording methods such as writing and pictograms are a useful technology that allows people to communicate across time) the but I can't find any discussion on them as such.
