Drawing on research by the author, this paper analyzes the composition of the interpersonal communication networks (auxiliary channels) which are pervasive in human society. These networks tend to be 1) primary in nature, containing four members from primary relationships and one from a secondary relationship, and 2) reflective of neighborhood and…

This research sought to determine the persuasive impact of Toulmin's categories of message development. Specific hypotheses were formulated after a review of the literature related to "backing for the warrant" (evidence), "rebuttal" (two-sided messages), and "qualifier" (message-receiver discrepancy). Results from a…

Mickelson, John Sanford – 1972
The author examined relationships between message organization, message uncertainty, and verbal learning. Message organization was manipulated by varying the distance between repeated subject-verb-object triples in a sequence of sentences. Message uncertainty was defined as the uncertainty (variability) of word selections for subjects responding…

Lanigan, Richard L. – 1975
John Austin's notion of illocutionary force is explored within the context of the speech act in the total speech situation; definitions of locutionary, illocutionary, and perlocutionary acts are reviewed. It is argued that illocutionary acts are performatives that occur within a complete communication situation in which the key element is the…

Bledsoe, John L. – Training, 1976
Four styles based on Carl Jung's behavioral functions are discussed: intuiting, thinking, feeling, and sensing. By recognizing these styles in oneself and others, and communicating with others in their primary styles (style-flexing), communication can be more effective. A chart presents typical personal characteristics associated with the four…

Contemporary research conceptualizes messages to include dimensions of intensity, equivocation, opinionatedness, and figurativeness. This paper seeks to evaluate and clarify such concepts by identifying the message dimensions actually perceived by receivers. Factor analysis (with varimax and oblique rotations) of message ratings from 211 college…

Kluwin, Thomas N. – 1979
A review of the research of E.G. Mishler, H. Mehan, and others suggests that a unified theory of the mechanics of how continuous discourse is accounted for in classroom behavior is necessary for further study. Discourse analysis meets the criteria for selection of a theoretical framework because it deals with all the language within the classroom…

It reflects both verbal and nonverbal interaction and treats all verbal behavior as problem-solving behavior. Chapter One describes the theoretical assumptions and framework of the system. Chapters Two…
