“/Analysing Communication/” is a textbook that introduces various 
approaches to communication analysis and shows how different theoretical 
and ontological perspectives on communication and communication 
processes change how we can analyse communication.

This second edition is radically different from the first book. The 
discussion and presentation of the seven communication traditions are 
extended and each of the chapters on the seven traditions now contains 
an analysis of the same case in order to highlight what the change in 
perspective does to the analyses thereby showcasing the book’s claim 
that different theoretical perspectives give different analyses.


The book is written by Dr. Karsten Pedersen who is an associate 
professor at Roskilde University in Denmark ((kape /at/ ruc.dk))

The book’s theoretical point of departure is Robert T. Craig’s (1999) 
identification of seven communication theoretical traditions:

  * The cybernetic tradition
  * The sociopsychological tradition
  * The rhetorical tradition
  * The semiotic tradition
  * The sociocultural tradition
  * The phenomenological tradition
  * The critical tradition

Each of the traditions gives a specific and unique insight into how we 
can see and discuss communication from different theoretical, 
epistemological and ontological perspectives.

In addition, chapter 11 introduces and discusses four approaches to 
communication theory and analysis that deserve a special mention, 
because of their novel understandings of communication.
