Summary/Abstract: The analysis of human communication began, in the mid half of the last century through a mechanicistic approach inspired by the mathematical theory of information transmission and it has evolved into an interactionist analysis centered on the constructive value of face-to-face communication. If in the first phase, the relationship “function of language” / “communicative model” had in the case of expression the dyad “representation” / “transmission”, the interactionist approach replaces it by the dyad “creativity” / “recursion”, this latest relationship being the expression of a systemic vision on daily communication.
