认知传播学:学科合法性质疑

Cognitive Communication: Questions about Its Discipline Legitimacy

在当前传播生态发生巨变的背景下,国内部分学者提出了创建认知传播学的学科设想,并且从理论溯源、学理建构、学科交叉、研究方法等方面给予了论证。不过在笔者看来,提出新的学科构想固然符合当下学术界学科融合的大趋势,但是就认知传播学的学科构想和论证而言,却存在诸多学理上的漏洞,主要包括三个方面:学科缺乏基本概念支撑,学科属性定位与研究对象不明确,学科缺乏独立理论体系以及研究方法陈旧。

With the great change of communication ecology, some domestic scholars put forward the idea of creating the discipline of cognitive communication, and certify its legitimacy from the perspectives of theoretical origin, theory construction, cross-disciplinary evolution and research methods. But in my opinion, although to propose a new discipline is consistent with the current convergent trend of academic fields, there are many loopholes in the conception and argumentation of cognitive communication.This research argues against it from three aspects： cognitive communication lacks basic concepts and independent theoretical system, its attribute and research objects are not clarified, and its research methods are antiquated.
