Abstract:
This unique volume offers an overview of the diversity of perspectives on
communication: including analyses in terms of biology, sociality, economics,
norms and human development. It includes general social science approaches to
communication, such as those found in systems theory and cultural theory, as
well as perspectives more specifically related to communication acts, such as
linguistics and cognition. The volume also features chapters which focus
specifically on approaches to what are generally seen as the five crucial
elements of the communication process: communicator, message, receiver,
channel, effects. The scope of the contributions is global, and the volume is
relevant to both the empirical and the philosophical traditions in social
science. Designed as a stand-alone collection to engage undergraduates as well
as postgraduates and academics, this is also the first book in, and an
introduction to, the de Gruyter Mouton multi-volume ‘Handbooks of
Communication Science’.
