Communication Beings: Four Communication Prototypical Figures

This study falls within the Communication Ontology (Fundamentals of Communication Science component). It addressed the issue of fundamental ontological element of communication: communication being.First, communication being is defined as tangible, modular, computational and functional element. Then, investigation is developed on two axes. On the diachronic axis is made an inventory of denomination of communication beings since the establishment of communication as paradigmatic discipline. It is found that over the three paradigms (1950-1970, 1970-2000, 2000 - ...) talked about source-destination, sender-receiver, speaker-receiver, addresser-addressee, communicator communicatee, participants etc. On synchronic axis is performing a taxonomy of communication beings. Bring several arguments in favor of the thesis that, in terms of categories, there are four communication prototypical figures: arhireceptor, participant, actor and agent.
