• Communication question– What is the problem or phenomenon you wish to
understand?– In what (specific, actual, concrete) communicative
practices does it appear?

• Communication question– What is the problem or phenomenon you wish to
understand?– In what communicative practices does it appear?– For whom should this matter and why?

• Communication question• Object(s) of study– What specific texts will be your primary “data?”– Remember: our claims must be supported by
things real specific people actually do and say

• Communication question• Object(s) of study– What specific texts will be your primary “data?”– Remember: our claims must be supported by
things real specific people actually do and say– A communication theorist has no access to
people’s minds, intentions, etc. We only have words (and other symbols) to work with. Gather these
