Research Abstract

This research performed the extraction and analysis of a communication model used as the foundation of the sociological communication theory in Germany to the beginning. Then, it was shown clearly that conversion of the methodology-paradigm in communication analysis is progressing. Since sociological communication act theories, such as the result, were specified to an idea-sense of purpose, it became clear to have validity only in the domain limited extremely as conceptual equipment which analyzes present-day various communication phenomena. On the other hand, although, the communication system theory of N. Luhmann developed based on present age system theory consists of very abstract and neutral selection process of information, transfer, and understanding therefore, it can analyze the various ways of appearing of communication from a unific viewpoint, and can describe them. This can be supported also by reference investigation about the communication phenomenon analysis or text analysis of modern society advanced according to this new communication model and new methodology in Germany now. For example, it was verified that this functions on problem analysis of a social system in cultural communication, analysis of the metaphor in present age text theories, problem analysis of agreement formation and multiculturalism in public communication, as a very effective model.
