A symbolic and communication theory is a theoretical framework that examines how symbols, signs, and communication processes create meaning and shape human interactions. These theories explore how individuals use symbols and signs to communicate ideas, values, and emotions, and how these communications influence social relationships and cultural norms. Symbolic and communication theories often draw on concepts from linguistics, semiotics, anthropology, and sociology to analyze how meaning is created and shared through verbal and nonverbal communication. These theories are used in fields such as media studies, organizational communication, rhetoric, and intercultural communication.
