ABOUT THE NAME OF ACTUALLY COMMUNICATION STUDYING DISCIPLINE

This study explores the literature on the name of discipline which seeks communication. It notes that there are various names designating this subject: Communication Theory, Communication Science, Sciences de l'Information et of Communication (SIC), Communicology, Communication studies. It appears, then, that the discipline dealing with the phenomena of communication is (along with Psychology, Anthropology and Sociology) a social science. There is that, although seem to refer to one and the same phenomenon of communication,referred disciplines not examine the communication as a whole, but focuses on different areas; ie they are fragmented. Starting from the origin and connection (Lat. Communis the Gr. Word logos speech, thought, study) and making use of the analogy of Sociology (Latin word Socius Gr. Logos ) and Anthropology (Gr. anthropos logos) is seeking a convergence of names. It is estimated that it should reach convergence in respect of at least two criteria: the study of communication as a whole and understanding communication as a multi-structured universe. Such criteria somehow it would comply with a title like Strong Communication Science Communicology. Yet the question persists and therefore the future must be sought arguments to name a possible unitary communication science.
