Der Begriff der "sozialen Emergenz" zahlt zu den schillerndsten und schwierigsten Begriffen der soziologischen Theorie. Die neuere Emergenzdebatte zum Ausgangspunkt nehmend, versucht diese Arbeit zu klaren, was in system- und kommunikationstheoretischer Perspektive unter sozialer Emergenz verstanden werden kann. Im Mittelpunkt der Betrachtungen stehen dabei die Emergenzbehauptung und das Kommunikationsmodell der soziologischen Systemtheorie, das "Nachtragsmanagement" der Kommunikation und die Modellierung kommunikativer Mechanismen.
