What is Constructing Meaning in Communication about?

This document summarizes theories about how people construct meaning from communication, including Coordinated Management of Meaning Theory and Constructivism. It discusses key concepts of each theory, such as the hierarchy of meanings and rules in CMM, and cognitive schemas, complexity, and person-centeredness in Constructivism. It also notes some criticisms of each theory, such as questions around what constitutes a rule in CMM and concerns that Constructivism focuses more on cognition than communication.
