The Mind

The paper examines the historical connection of phonetics with general linguistics, and reveals why this area of linguistics did not develop neither consistently, nor simultaneously in the structure of philological sciences. Attention is paid to the modern media-text approach to such an area of phonetics as intonation; the latter, in turn, is viewed as part of communication theory. It is hypothesized that such an attitude to sound, to the phoneme, has already been considered among the Futurists, Dadaists, Lettrists, Budelyans and Oberiuts, who interpreted sounds as an unknowable phenomenon that is beyond the cognition of the mind. Here the place and the pragmatic role of modern science on current approaches to phonetics in communicology is determined, where intonation does not refer to either cognitive science or paralinguistics, but, at the same time, unites these two areas of practical speech production. It is hypothetically assumed that such approaches were realized by some representatives of trends and schools of the direction of modernism of the early twentieth century.

Straipsnyje nagrinėjama komunikacijos teorijos ir komunikacijos filosofijos demarkacijos problema, iškylanti komunikacijos teoretikams siekiant mažinti partikuliarumą ir sukurti universalesnę komunikacijos teoriją. Tvirtinama, jog komunikacijos teorija ir komunikacijos filosofija turi būti apibrėžiamos remiantis skirtingais jų tikslais. Komunikacijos teorija siekia struktūruoti ir kaupti turimas žinias apie komunikaciją, jomis remiantis aiškinti ir numatyti konkrečius komunikacijos atvejus. Savo ruožtu komunikacijos filosofija domisi komunikacijos vieta socialiniame žmogaus gyvenime bei bendrosiomis komunikacijos teorijų ir empirinių tyrimų prielaidomis. Tvirtinama, jog komunikacijos teorija ir komunikacijos filosofija yra skirtingų abstrakcijos lygmenų teorijos, todėl negali būti laikomos lygiavertėmis. Pagrindiniai žodžiai: komunikacijos teorija, komunikacijos filosofija, komunikacijos mokslo metodologija.Asymmetry between Communication Theory and Philosophy of CommunicationKæstutis Kirtiklis  Summary The author analyzes the problem of a demarcation line between communication theory and philosophy of communication. This problem arises when communication theorists seek to reduce particularism and create a more universal communication theory. The article argues that communication theory and philosophy of communication should be defined through their different ends. Communication theory aims to cumulate and structure the knowledge of communication, to explain and predict particular cases of communication, whereas philosophy of communication is concerned with questions regarding the place of communication in social life and also with theory formation and methodology in communication science. Communication theory and philosophy of communication are on the different levels of abstraction and therefore cannot be considered to be commensurate theories.

This chapter examines theoretical perspectives on ethnic conflict across several disciplines. Multiple academic disciplines have addressed ethnic conflict with the tools available in their fields of research. A less thoroughly researched aspect of ethnic conflict is what most valuable contributions are shared across disciplinary boundaries. This chapter will touch on approaches from social sciences, political science, cognitive science, communication studies, and lay views of ethnic conflict. This study is a first step into this topic and yields some important ideas for future research for analyzing ethnic conflict.

Dichotomous Thinking

AbstractEnactive cognitive science combines questions in epistemology, ontology, and ethics by conceiving of bodies as open-ended and mutually transforming through activity. While enaction is not a theory of ethics, it can contribute to its foundations. We present a schematization of enactive ideas that underlie traditional distinctions between Being, Knowing, and Doing. Ethics in this scheme begins in the relation between knowing and becoming. Critical of dichotomous thinking, we approach the questions of alterity and ethical reality. Alterity is relevant to the enactive approach, but not in the radical sense of transcendental arguments. We propose difference, instead, as a more generative concept. Following Simondon, we see norms and values manifest in webs of past and future acts together with their potentialities for becoming. We propose a transindividual concept of moral attunement that includes ethical know-how and consciousness raising. Through generative difference and attunement to configurations of becoming, enaction underpins an ethics of participation linking virtue ethics and ethics of care.

Time to converse: the importance of language, conversation and electronic media in agricultural extension

One aspect of the complex communication involved in agricultural extension that is only discussed indirectly is the language we use. There is a saying that words are cheap and only actions count. In this paper, a new development in communication theory arising from cognitive science is briefly reviewed as a basis for suggesting that our use of words is a particular kind of action with subtle and profound consequences that are easily underestimated. This new cognitive science supports a changing philosophy and style of agricultural extension that leans more towards cooperative learning. Certain patterns of word usage that occur in institutionalised agricultural extension (directives and dogma, technical jargon, hiding behind formality, empty words, criticism, planning terminology and motherhood statements) are exposed as barriers to effective communication. Increasing reliance on e-mail and the World Wide Web has possible benefits associated with a more informal and personally responsible use of language. Growing awareness of the biology of communication points to the need to establish strong personal connections, of heart as well as head, for agricultural extension to continue to thrive and improve.

Constant Comparative Method

Informal science communication efforts play a large role in individuals’ science learning. The present study sought to examine a nontraditional science communication environment: popular culture conventions. Utilizing the communication theory of identity, identity was examined to determine how participants expressed their identities when interacting with science in the convention environment. Qualitative interviews were held with audience members ( n = 14) and science communicators ( n = 13). Interviews were thematically analyzed using the constant comparative method. Results suggest that audience members could experience changes in their identity, shifting their views so they thought of themselves as users, learners, and consumers of science.

AbstractThis article responds to two unresolved and crucial problems of cognitive science: (1) What is actually accomplished by functions of the nervous system that we ordinarily describe in the intentional idiom? and (2) What makes the information processing involved in these functions semantic? It is argued that, contrary to the assumptions of many cognitive theorists, the computational approach does not provide coherent answers to these problems, and that a more promising start would be to fall back on mathematical communication theory and, with the help of evolutionary biology and neurophysiology, to attempt a characterization of the adaptive processes involved in visual perception. Visual representations are explained as patterns of cortical activity that are enabled to focus on objects in the changing visual environment by constantly adjusting to maintain levels of mutual information between pattern and object that are adequate for continuing perceptual control. In these terms, the answer proposed to (1) is that the intentional functions of vision are those involved in the establishment and maintenance of such representations, and to (2) that semantic features are added to the information processes of vision with the focus on objects that these representations accomplish. The article concludes with proposals for extending this account of intentionality to the higher domains of conceptualization and reason, and with speculation about how semantic information-processing might be achieved in mechanical systems.
