Peters, John Durham

Communication Research: An International Quarterly, v13 n4 p527-59 Oct 1986

Focusing on the communication field's institutional use of central terms and concepts, explores why the field has failed to define itself, its intellectual focus, and its goals. Considers the field's emergence in the context of the history of the social sciences to help illuminate its intellectual task. (JD)
