Taking into consideration the developing path of the sociology in the 20th century, this book in its spotlight contains the separation of the communication as an issue of scientific interest of the sociology. Using the theory of social action as a basis for analysis of communication, this book represents the most important microsociological theories of communication: the theory of the social interactionism, the phenomenology, the ethomethodology, the theory of the social constructionism, the dramaturgic theory and the theory of the communicative action. Common thread of all these theories is the consideration of the social action as a basis for communication, whereas each of the pointed theories differently defines the social action, thus the communication as a social action. At the same time dedicating to the research of the communication, these theories offer the transfer from analysis of the meaning of the social action which the theory of the social action offered as a perspective, to mutual understanding of the social actors which the analysis of the communication opened as a perspective.
