Modelling Communication: On the General Principles

Summary/Abstract: The life of contemporary people and communities is made meaningful and also created more and more through communication and its products. At the same time, the meaning and essence of communication itself has become fuzzier in many aspects: who are the parties of communication, what is communicated, what is the environment of communication in the first place. The importance of communication in the description of the life and behaviour of people, culture, biological beings has been noticed long ago. To facilitate the relevant research, several models have been proposed mostly during the past hundred years, and those models are still in use today. The present article highlights that we should here take into account the rapid and often irregular developments in contemporary semiotic reality and communicative techniques and technologies. Thus we must first specify what exactly is the field of communication under inspection, and what are the parties and particles of communication. It is possible that the popular models of communi-cation worked out and used until now must be redefined, and their contents re-established in terms of both agency and matter.
