Abstract

This paper analyses the books named “Communication Theory” trying to identify the common elements from four main questions: what is Communication? What is the study object of Communication Theory? What are the main methods? What is Communication Theory? The results shows that there is little agreement among the authors concerning these questions, what somehow seems to blur the disciplinary boundaries – and this is seen as a good epistemological fact.
