Communicative in the near future? (11)
I believe the answer is:
forthcoming
I believe this clue is a triple definition!
'communicative' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'in' acts as a link.
'the near' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'future?' is the third definition.
('forthcoming' can be similar in meaning to 'future')
(Other definitions for forthcoming that I've seen before include "Communicative" , "Approaching" .)
