Abstract
The procedures involved in creating and certifying theories constructed within the laws, systems, and rules perspectives of human communication are compared and contrasted in order to delimit the focuses of a rules perspective to theory construction. A review is provided of the approach by Cushman and his associates to human communication within the rules perspective. The author attempts to extend the previous analysis by developing a rules theory of interpersonal communication.
