Communication Theory, Linguistics, and Psycholinguistics.

This article focuses on communication theory, linguistics, and psycholinguistics. Communication is defined as a word that crops up with increasing frequency in educational literature. Although it could hardly be said that linguistics and psycholinguistics are merely riding the coat tails of communication theory, these fields also have received greater attention in the last few years. In order to apply the mathematics of information theory in any useful way, simple communication channels must be adopted. Interest in communication theory has led to a proliferation of models of the communication situation. References to modern structural linguistics were elaborated by the authors.
