The book "Speaking of Empty Words: The Conceptual History of Communication" presents readers with the conceptual history of communication from a broad interdisciplinary humanistic perspective. It not only elaborates on the historical evolution of communication concepts, but also quotes from many sources, discussing the fields of history, philosophy, religion, culture, and even law and technology history, tracing the perspective of communication back to the most fundamental issues in Western thought. It not only embodies the humanistic orientation of communication research, but also stimulates the public's interest in communication in a popular way of expression.
