本文旨在探討海外華人傳播學研究的來龍去脈，並進一步提出對海 内外華人社會未來傳播學發展的建議。首先以樹為喻，界定了傳播學的 主幹與六大枝幹，並藉此顯示出華人社會傳播學教育與研究的不足。進 而分別介紹了 CCA、ACC與CCS三個華人傳播學學會的歷史與研究取 向，然後以ACCS為對象，對其會員的研究成果做一個概括性的分 析，來較有系統地了解整個華人傳播學研究的全貌。最後，本文對華人 傳播學研究的未來展望提出看法，呼箱在全球化潮流的衝擊之下，海内 外華人傳播學研究必須有所整合，並以發展一個健全的本土化的華人傳 播學為基礎，投射到整個全球社會的脈絡以茲貢獻。

The purpose of this paper was to examine the overseas Chinese communication studies and further propose a direction for the future development of Chinese communication studies in Chinese societies. First, the author used tree as a metaphor to define the trunk and the six main branches of the field of communication studies. The communication tree was employed to reflect the incompleteness of communication studies in Chinese societies. Second, the author separately examined the history and research orientation of the three well-established Chinese communication associations, including CCA, ACCS, and CCS. Lastly, the paper argued that under the impact of globalization, it is necessary for domestic and overseas Chinese communication scholars and associations to cooperate and integrate their efforts in order to survive and make contributions to the global society.
