Abstract
The article examines the main trends in the development of the sociology of communication and its problem field. The authors postulate the widespread use of the optics of the sociology of communication as a metatheory of communication in general. Various aspects of this science, frontier disciplines, its architecture and structuring are revealed. Metamorphoses in the modern sociocultural space and the transformation of communicative practices are explored.
