Lisa sent out the first notice to the comm-grad list about James Carey's deathcultural definition of communication:
"Communication is a symbolic process whereby reality is produced, maintained, repaired and transformed." (p. 10, 1975 in Baran, 2006, p. 9)
Carey is cited all over the place. This article in a Canadian journal introduces (to me, smile) the expressivist/objectivist debate.
