This entry outlines the contours of ontology within the context of other branches of philosophy (epistemology, axiology, and logic) and also within the context of communication theory and research. It explores the topic through two predominant ontological lenses that shape research in the discipline of communication. It situates ontology as a discursive construction from the standpoint of phenomenology and semiotics, employing Martin Heidegger's ideas concerning fundamental ontology.
