communication event Explanation: This, I believe, is the correct terminology -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 25 mins (2008-11-21 16:35:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Following Luhmann, our systemic view assumes that social structures (i.e., the structures of a social system) are expectation structures, consisting of behavioural expectations (informally explained in the previous section). In that, behaviour is seen as an observable simplification of communication events (in the form of utterances) as well as non-symbolic agent acting and other events. Empirical semantics makes use of this view by defining the semantics of agent communication ("semantics" in the computational sense) in terms of expectations which are updated each time new utterances are observed. Such expectations can in principle refer to all events that communication can refer to - most importantly the interactions among agents. http://jasss.soc.surrey.ac.uk/10/1/5.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 35 mins (2008-11-21 16:45:24 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Luhmann’s theory of social communication is a second order cybernetics. In attempting to elaborate on this we adopt Briers approach of cybersemiotics that links Luhmann’s work to that of semiotics. In particular, it provides a view of the relationship between motivation/intentionality in communication events between autonomous sources and sinks, and the function of semiosis. Thus, it is appropriate to introduce the nature of semiotics, which incidentally connects to Shannon and Weaver’s theory of communication. Habermas’ approach appears to be a third order cybernetics that draws on the notions of lifeworld and the role of semantic processes. This is connected to Swanson’s context that explores knowledge in terms of concepts and in relation to communication and information. http://cwis.livjm.ac.uk/socrates/Chapter10.pdf -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 4 days (2008-11-26 12:05:50 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the points, Eszter |
