Explanation

The rhetorical tradition treats communication as a practical art, joining statement i to that description.

The semiotic tradition treats communication as intersubjective mediation through signs, linking statement ii to that idea.

The phenomenological tradition treats it as the capacity to experience otherness through authentic dialogue, tying statement iii to that view.

The critical tradition treats it as discursive reflection on hegemonic ideological forces, matching statement iv to that description.

These belong to Robert Craig's mapping of the field of communication theory.

Craig set out seven such traditions, of which these four are part.
