SummaryOn Communicating : Otherness, Meaning, and Information by Krippendorff, Klaus; Bermejo, Fernando (Editor) Terms of useThis compilation of previously-published articles brings together the work of communication expert Klaus Krippendorf. Bermejo prefaces the collection with an introduction on the contributions of Krippendorf to the field, especially his adaptation of the new cybernetics to the study of language. Bermejo also prefaces each of the four sections of the book, on communicating, otherness, meaning and information. Krippendorf is known for his acceptance of the observer as non- objective and his treatment of language as a means to a meaning with communication as the hoped-for end result. Communications students will be pleased to have all this material gathered together for their perusal.
