Explication (Communication Concepts)

The first volume in a series devoted to concepts in the study of communication, this is a book mainly about thinking, concerned with the disciplined use of words, with observation of human behaviour and especially with the connection between the two. Concepts establish the linkage between common communication percepts and theories, which communication scientists and critics build and test. Through examples, much is also revealed here about a number of substantive concepts in the field of communication.
