Communication as a Symbolic Activity.
Ritchie, L. David; Good, Leslie T.
Journal of Communication, v39 n4 p121-26 Fall 1989
Critiques an article by Ian Angus and John Lannamann on the fragmentation of the communication field ("Questioning the Institutional Boundaries of U. S. Communication Research: An Epistemological Inquiry," v38 n3). Argues that any medium, including the body, can be conceptualized as a system of symbol creation, recognition, and interpretation--a system which relies on memory. (SR)
