Interpretation, Truth and Correspondence

2000

The correspondence theory of truth is usually considered unsuitable for qualitative research. This is because of the interpretive nature of social reality and subjective nature of research procedures. Contra these ideas it is argued that the correspondence theory of truth is presupposed in the practice of qualitative research. This theory does not, however, dictate any methods for verifying the interpretations. Various theories of truth are seen as necessary because of the complexity of the interpretation process.

2016

AbstractWithin social semiotics we discuss how different semiotic resources alone or in multimodal texts are used to communicate truth. This is one of the parts of the multimodal theory that are least developed and discussed. The discussion on truth within social semiotics is mainly focused on the relationship between a corresponding type of truth that is common in natural science and a more everyday perception of truth. This can give an incomplete and stereotypical image of how truth is portrayed.
