|
| “This journal is unique in that it provides a forum devoted
to the discussion of topics and issues in communication which is
of interdisciplinary significance. It publishes contributions from
researchers in all fields relevant to the study of verbal and non-verbal
communication. The investigation of language and its communicational
functions are treated as a concern shared in common by those working
in anthropology, the arts, artificial intelligence, education, ethnology,
linguistics, physiology, philosophy, psychology and the social sciences.
Emphasis is placed on the implications of current research for establishing
common theoretical frameworks within which findings from different
areas of study may be accommodated and interrelated. By focusing
attention on the many ways in which language is integrated with
other forms of communicational activity and interactional behaviour,
it is intended to explore ways of developing a science of communication
which is not restricted by existing disciplinary boundaries.“
