Can anyone help explain the clear distinction between communication systems (or communications as a whole) and digital signal processing (DSP)?

So I know that communications is a broad field and DSP is more or less considered a tool, but can someone who is more familiar with either of these fields explain it to me in more detail without it being too complicated?

Communication is the act of transmitting information (eg: “I am hungry”). As part of that process, the information is encoded and transmitted (eg: you speak words). The encoded transmission (eg: the sound of your voice) is called a signal. Digital signal processing is the specific act of encoding, decoding or transforming digital signals using digital logic.
