This chapter reviews the major theoretical and methodological features of discursive social psychology, and illustrates the scope and nature of this approach through showing the way it can respecify the social psychology of attitudes. It reviews discourse research on attitude variability; it describes conversation analytic studies on the way evaluations are managed in interaction and shows how ...

Hesitations, interruptions within phrases or within words are common in spontaneous speech. Those phenomena are widely known to be observable from a prosodic point of view through disfluencies. From a syntactic point of view, many studies already established that discursive markers such as hm, oh, I mean, etc. are representative of spontaneous speech. In this study, we demonstrate through a joi...

Metacognition plays an essential role in learning mathematics. Due to missing tools for observation and evaluation of metacognitive activities in mathematics instruction, rarely anything is known about how metacognition is fostered in mathematics instruction. This paper presents the design of such an innovative tool. It also explains the methodology used to evaluate its reliability as well as t...

The interpretive framework for the study of learning introduced in this article and called commognitive is grounded in the assumption that thinking is a form of communication and that learning mathematics is tantamount to modifying and extending one’s discourse. These basic tenets lead to the conclusion that substantial discursive change, rather than being necessitated by an extradiscursive rea...

We propose a constructive discursive logic with strong negation CDLSN based on Nelson’s constructive logic N as a constructive version of Jaśkowski’s discursive logic. In CDLSN, discursive negation is defined similar to intuitionistic negation and discursive implication is defined as material implication using discursive negation. We give an axiomatic system and Kripke semantics with a complete...

This article examines interpreter assessment and draws attention to the limits of a lexico-semantic approach. It proposes using features of discourse theory to identify some of the competencies needed to interpret and suggests developing assessment instruments with the technical rigour common in other fields. The author gives examples of discursive features in interpretation and shows how these...

In the logical literature, Discursive (or Discussive) Logic introduced by Stanis law Jaśkowski is seen as one of the earliest examples of the so-called paraconsistent logic. There is some confusion over what is actually discursive logic nevertheless. One of the possible sources of the confusion is easy to discern; it comes from the fact that Jaśkowski published his two papers in Polish and thei...

Written communication scholarship has shown that successful social change requires discursive stability. This study was designed to investigate how this stability is created. Critical discourse analysis of 30 corporate university articles investigated claims authors made about the expansion of market-based values into contexts of organizational learning and academic higher education. In total, ...
