The similarity is that they are all conversation of one kind or another--i.e, words exchanged.
Argument involves contention and disagreement, which none of the other terms do. (Not referring to the mathematical/logical definition of argument.)
Discussion is an extended exchange of ideas, perhaps even development of a concept, but usually there is a point or points involved, more formal than conversation. In a classroom, it would mean a lecture with students given the opportunity to rebut or examine the subject matter.
Conversation is also an exchange, but it may or may not have valuable content and it is informal.
Chatting is even more informal, even purely social.
Gossip can mean a light discussion; however it can ALSO mean malicious talk behind other peoples backs, divulging of secrets, etc.

Two or more people chat on the internet and discuss various topics of interest. The information thus gained is used for their conversation with others. This could lead to heated argument which then can get distorted as a gossip (for pleasure) !!!!

To put it in simple words, chatting between persons is without a topic. It becomes conversation when they find a topic, but when there is difference of opinion on the topic it becomes an argument. But gossip is some thing which is more serious . It is an unwanted and malicious loose talk among a group of people about a person who is not present there.

Argument, properly, is where two people have differing or opposing views and each tries to persuade the other to his way of thinking by putting logical points forward. Ultimately one will change his mind but if, after the argument, they don't then they 'agree to differ'.
Discussion is where two or more people put forward points or suggestions on a particular matter in order to move forward or find a resolution to a problem.
Conversation is exchange of matters of mutual interest between two or more people by way of speech.
Chatting is similar to conversation but generally about matter so little importance such as how the weather is or what programmes they have seen on TV.
Gossip is the exchange of information between two or more people about a third party, often malicious or erroneous.

Arguments and quarrels have a tendency to be comparable, although arguments are plenty greater mature and oppinion based, greater like a debate. So to illustrate and arguemtn between 2 human beings would desire to be on determination of porfession, or politics to illustrate. while a quarrel is alot greater "stupid" over non important issues, and often involes insulting one yet another incredibly than a silvalised debate. communicate often involes an excellent team of folk speaking, while a communique is between 2 human beings or a small team, to illustrate speaking a pair of e book in a classification could be a communicate, yet a communique could be between a instructor and a pupil to illustrate. Chatting is often between a team of freinds, speaking approximately something, track, video games, schoo, television, something that folk have in uncomplicated with one yet another that they communicate approximately freely. Gossiping often involes speaking relating to the alternative intercourse, and frequently involes females speaking approximately adult males (sorry for being sexist yet its actual :P) like to illustrate somebody speaking a pair of guy in thier classification that they actually fancy. even though it may additionally be approximately purely spreading roumers, like "omg did you hear john kissed becca" or despite, that style of stuff. Backbiting is probable greater of a mix of a argument and a quarrel, the place a controversy turns into alot greater perosnal, and human beings initiate relatively insulting one yet another. Or it might desire to be speaking approximately human beings in the back of thier backs after a argument, like telling human beings how there oppinion sucks or comparable issues. besides ive blabbed on long adequate, wish this enables.

argument-arguing on a point with out understanding others point of view and trying to stick to yr point only-
discussion -this is talking between two or more people about any issue each one expressing his/her view and understanding others views
conversation -it is just communicating to others what you know and trying to know their version on that subject
chatting -purpose less talking only time pass.
gossip- discussing about any issue with out facts / figures loose talk ,no purpose
