Intrapersonal communication is a relatively new phenomenon for
communication study and still lacks the grounding of a sound
theoretical base. The first to present a developed theory of this
discipline, this book's goal is to provide graduate students and
professionals with an organized point of departure for their
research. The theoretical section begins with an intrapersonal
communication theory derived from the sociogenetic views of George
Herbert Mead and L.S. Vygotsky. This theory emphasizes social
interaction, the developmental nature of mind, and the crucial role
of speech in creating a self, a culture, and a mind which then
interact in human intrapersonal communication. This section also
provides the reader with a coherent interdisciplinary knowledge
base taken from speech communication, biology, neurology, cultural
psychology, anthropology, sociology, speech pathology, and
linguistics. The integrated theoretical perspective that results
makes the study compatible with communication scholarship focusing
on the social, cultural, cognitive, or performance aspects of
communication phenomena. The applications section examines
neurophysiological/intrapersonal communication research methods and
studies to date, together with specific applications of
intrapersonal communication theory to childhood language
acquisition, to the establishment of gender identities, and to
intrapersonal competence. The final chapter presents pedagogical
guidance on how we can influence intrapersonal competence and
performance as well as commenting on the current state of this
study and its future prospects. The editor's interstitial
commentary facilitates access by readers wishing to constuct their
own theory.
