A Communication Theory Bibliography Speaks out—Softly

Abstract

A bibliography of communication theory books and articles was constructed by the Center for Communication Research at the University of Texas at Austin. As the compilation consisted of comprehensive suggestions from many sources, a study was prompted which sought to examine the bibliographic entries in order to determine the existence of overall patterns. The entries exhibited an interesting time-line pattern, but other observations were less productive. Further study with re-grouped terms, utilizing synonymy tables is suggested.
