Human-Machine Communication : Rethinking Communication, Technology, and Ourselves
From virtual assistants to social robots, people are increasingly interacting with intelligent and highly communicative technologies throughout their daily lives.This shift from communicating with people to communicating with people and machines challenges how scholars have theorized and studied communication.Human-Machine Communication: Rethinking Communication, Technology, and Ourselves addresses this transition in how people communicate and who, or what, they communicate with and the implications of this evolution for communication research.Geared toward scholars interested in people’s interactions with technology, this book serves as an introduction to human-machine communication (HMC) as a specific area of study within communication (encompassing human-computer interaction, human-robot interaction, and human-agent interaction) and to the research possibilities of HMC.This collection includes papers presented as part of a scholarly conference on HMC, along with invited works from noted researchers.Topics include defining HMC, theoretical approaches to HMC, applications of HMC, and the larger implications of HMC for self and society.The research presented here focuses on people’s interactions with multiple technologies (artificial intelligence, algorithms, and robots) used within different contexts (home, workplace, education, journalism, and healthcare) from a variety of epistemological and methodological approaches (empirical, rhetorical, and critical/cultural).Overall, Human-Machine Communication provides readers with an understanding of HMC in a way that supports and promotes further scholarly inquiry in a growing area of communication research.

Framing Sustainability in Language and Communication
This collection brings together established and emerging scholars for a critical framing of sustainability through the lens of language and communication, social semiotics, and media studies.The volume underscores the importance of re-envisioning sustainability around not only climate change and biodiversity loss but in broader systems of ecological, social, and economic imbalances on a global scale.The book begins with a visual essay which provides a semiotic foundation for understandings of sustainability across disciplinary approaches in the chapters that follow.Subsequent chapters are organized around four thematic sections: reframing sustainability in a colonial world; the semiotics of sustainability; communicating sustainability in everyday life; and communicating sustainability in arts and media.A closing commentary by Crispin Thurlow offers critical reflections on sustainability within language and communication research and beyond.This book will be of interest to scholars addressing sustainability across diverse disciplines, including language and communication, social semiotics, linguistic anthropology, environmental communication, media studies, and development studies.

Backed up with data and statistics from industry reports on workplace culture, Influential Internal Communication is based on The Field Model and draws on research with CEO's, some of the best insights into people, organisations and chaos.The theory is backed up with real world case studies, showing how chaos can impact a range of organizations of varying size and industry.Written by the 2020 President of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR), Influential Internal Communication will streamline any organization's IC practices, and help to drive engagement, efficiency and profit across the board.

Automation in Communication : The Ideological Implications of Language Machines
By drawing on multiple examples from healthcare, religion, service encounters and poetry, Lionel Wee presents rich insights into the use of automation in communication through a posthumanist lens.As communication becomes increasingly automated, the use of automation creates significant conceptual challenges for ideologies about language, beliefs about the nature of language, as well as assumptions about the roles that interpretation, anthropomorphism, and folk theories of mind play when language is used in communication.This book unravels the ideological implications of automation in communication and provides a new theoretical ground to address the major issues raised by automation.Wee discusses the importance of thinking carefully about how we identify and distinguish the roles of speaker and hearer.He also argues that we re-evaluate our understanding of the relationship between language and community. This book will be vital to students interested in studying the intersections of AI, language and communication, as well as researchers working in communication studies, linguistics and the broader sociology of language in the age of technological change.
