THEORIES AND MODELS OF COMMUNICATION



 Volume 1 of

Peter J. Schulz, Paul Cobley (Eds.)

HANDBOOKS OF COMMUNICATION SCIENCE
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.
