HOW THE MESSAGE BECOMES PART OF THE COMMUNICATION PROCESS
HOW THE MESSAGE BECOMES PART OF THE COMMUNICATION PROCESS

Summary/Abstract: This study argues in favour of the thesis according to which the message is not directly perceived and it does not occur immediately within the communication process. We can notice that, in order to receive and understand the message, we need to follow a process concerned with the initiation into the process of comprehending the message: we receive the message after having established a hermeneutic situation and determined an instance of discourse. The message will not become obvious implicitly, within the reality of comprehension: it is not conveyed as such, as the sender does not simply deliver a message; the message takes shape within the processing of the significations used in the communicational transaction.
