Whilst the basic organization of the text remains the same,explanatory frameworks are accorded greater prominence than beforeand persons are seen as agents of communicative interaction ratherthan as victims of external of forces. Processes and actions arehighlighted, i.e. how people do what they do and how they managethe discourse. In the final section, several applied topics reflectour changing lifestyle: computer-mediated communication, massmedia, and organizations.
