Maricela León; Catherine Lemmi; Quentin Sedlacek; Nickolaus Alexander Ortiz; Kimberly Feldman – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2024
This commentary proposes the metaphor of "languaging-as-practice" in science education as an alternative to "language-as-tool" metaphors. Describing language as a tool implicitly positions language as static and unchanging and assumes that named languages are distinct and bounded entities. In contrast, describing languaging as…

Xiaoqing Hu; Ilangko Subramaniam; Alla Baksh Bin Mohamed Ayub Khan – Eurasian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2022
A context is realized by language registers, which are regarded as functional and semantic variants of a language. The context is studied as a part of discourse analysis and pragmatics, and along with register, it defines the Systemic Functional Linguistics theory (Halliday, 1994). This study aimed at providing a critical analysis of the…

Tracy Helliwell; Andreas Ebbelind – Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, 2025
As mathematics teacher educators (MTEs), we are motivated by the lack of research concerning the language that MTEs use in initial teacher education settings. In this paper, we turn our attention towards developing a methodological approach to studying the language-in-use during teacher education situations, with a specific focus on the language…

Zhiyi, Yin – Eurasian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2023
Discourse theory has always played a significant role in Michel Foucault's larger theoretical framework. His discourse theories integrate language, power, and knowledge as to achieve the 'truth,' though there is a debate whether they are inherently linked. This paper explores the longitudinal evolution of Foucault's discourse theory from the…

Hidalgo-Tenorio, Encarnación; Benítez-Castro, Miguel-Ángel – Globalisation, Societies and Education, 2022
Recursively in history, emotions such as social anger, moral satiety, distrust of the elite and the Establishment, among others, have all contributed to politicians' encouragement and exploitation of a rather emotionally charged discourse (Block, E., and R. Negrine. 2017. "The Populist Communication Style: Toward a Critical Framework."…

Orita, Naho; Vornov, Eliana; Feldman, Naomi H. – Discourse Processes: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2021
This study formalizes and compares two major hypotheses in speakers' choices of referring expressions: the topicality model that chooses a form based on the topicality of the referent, and the rational model that chooses a form based on the informativity of the form and its speech cost. Simulations suggest that both the topicality of the referent…
