Summary/Abstract: The field of communication studies is an extremely various one, this diversity being generated by each and every science which deals in a specific manner with the object of communication or of language in itself. However, there are great efforts nowadays to build or to identify a coherent and unitary theory (or even a paradigm) in order to guide, in a transdisciplinary way, the sciences of such a vast domain. One of the relevant proposals in this regard, coming from Ioan S. Cârâc, is that of considering semiotics as a transdisciplinary method, or of taking as a paradigm Eugenio Coseriu’s integral linguistics.
