Communication: term, notion, or concept
Stefan Vladutescu
Abstract :
The study is a meta–analysis that circumscribes Fundamental Communication Science and deals with clarifying the ontological status of “communication”. It seems that three contradictory and inflexible positions have appeared: communication as a term, communication as a notion and communication as a concept. It is generally accepted the use of communication as a “term” in unscientific rhetoric. Then it can be noted that communication–notion may accede in non–specialized contexts. It shows that there is a naïve representation and a specialized representation of communication. Finally, it is shown that in the scientific domain there is the need to use communication–concept configuration: scientific knowledge requires concepts.
