Analyzing the Contextual Nature of Collaborative Activity
2010
This chapter discusses a methodology designed to explore the contextual nature of collaborative activity. The methods that can be generally considered to be based on ‘socio-cultural’ discourse analysis are discussed as a means to explore how different aspects of a situation mediate students’ shared meaning-making. First, an analysis is demonstrated, illustrating how different immediate and mediated contexts are embedded in students’ discourse as they are engaged in face-to-face collaborative activity in a computer-mediated context. Second, a multidimensional coding scheme is presented for analyzing the contextualized process of collaborative knowledge construction in an asynchronous web-ba…
An Analytical Scheme to Characterise the Mathematical Discourse of Biology Tasks
2021
The chapter describes an analytical scheme designed for investigating the mathematical discourse of biology tasks. The scheme was developed in the context of analysing tasks that are part of a fisheries management graduate-level course at a Norwegian university. Grounded in the commognitive perspective, the scheme focuses on the following aspects of the tasks: the mathematical content, its relation to biology discourse and students’ expected engagement with both discourses. To illustrate the potential of analysis, I present and justify the choice of the categories included in the scheme, exemplify its use on one specific task and discuss some of the limitations of this approach to task anal…

The early childhood education and care partnership for bilingualism in minority language schooling : collaboration between bilingual families and ped…
2016
Educational partnerships occur at the intersection of early childhood education and care (ECEC), families, and the surrounding community, and have been shown to play a significant role in student success rates in education. There is, however, a gap in research on the role and potential of ‘partnership’ in the case of bilingual families with children enrolled in monolingual minority language ECEC. This study aimed to fill this void by examining parental and practitioner discourses on partnership and on obligations, desires, abilities, and competencies involved in acting on a bilingual childhood in the context of monolingual minority ECEC. Parents in nine Finnish–Swedish bilingual families an…
Gustoso e saporito. Introduzione al discorso gastronomico
2022
Nessuno può confondere mangiare con alimentarsi e la tavola è al centro non della sola vita famigliare ma anche di quella sociale. A giudicare dall’aumento di offerta commerciale di ristorazione nelle strade delle città c’è anzi da chiedersi come facessimo ad alimentarci tutti prima. Il fatto è che oggi con il cibo non sostentiamo soltanto noi stessi, ma anche le nostre relazioni. Il cibo infatti significa: elabora valori, narra, costruisce discorsi. Inoltre il cibo comunica: presidia il campo sociale, anima dibattiti, si dispiega in eventi, genera economia. Con Gustoso e saporito Gianfranco Marrone getta le fondamenta di quella semiotica del cibo che negli ultimi anni l’ha impegnato con ri…
Naming MINERALITY of French white wines : a contrastive study on the emergence of a " new " wine descriptor
2016
International audience; [Context] MINERAL / MINERALITY has emerged in wine prescriptive and descriptive discourses for about 20 years, especially to characterize special kinds of French white wines like Chablis in Northern Burgundy. Despite its very popular use by both experts and consumers, it still lacks a terminological definition that would be accepted by all wine professionals. For this reason, a research program was conducted in the last two years by an interdisciplinary team at the University of Burgundy and the Wine School of Changins (Switzerland) in order to cross semantic and sensory data enabling the establishment of a prototypical definition.[Aims] Building on the results of th…

Migrant Images and Imageries in Contemporary Italian Cinema”,
2019
This article aims to outline the three main threads that have marked Italian cinema in the adoption, comparison and modelling of migratory images and imageries, namely: a formed and forming gaze that transforms the multitude of life forms on the move into a horde of indistinct bodies; a humanitarian moral and a look that risk placing the diasporic subjects in an irredeemable position of subalternity and the construction and valorisation of migrant identities. Through these three threads, it is possible to reconstruct the visual history of migratory phenomena – both outwards to the Americas and inwards from North Africa –and highlight two opposing outcomes: on the one hand, the strategies of…
Costruire e rappresentare le identità. La linguistica come mediatrice fra politiche identitarie e identità del parlante
2013
Lo scopo del contributo è riflettere sul ruolo di mediazione che la linguistica può avere nel complesso rapporto fra le politiche linguistiche e le concrete pratiche discorsive dei parlanti. Il lavoro è diviso in due parti. Nella prima ci si concentrerà sul modo in cui il concetto di «identità» è stato affrontato nella ricerca linguistica nel corso del xx secolo. Nella seconda alcuni possibili modelli di rappresentazione delle complesse costruzioni identitarie emerse nel corso delle inchieste della sezione sociovariazionale dell’Atlante Linguistico della Sicilia (ALS), con particolare riferimento alle domande che indagano sulla percezione dei confini linguistici. Our paper aims at reflecting up…
Costruire e rappresentare l’identità. La linguistica come mediatrice fra politiche identitarie e identità del parlante
2013
Our paper aims at reflecting upon the mediation role that linguistics could play concerning the relationship between language policies and concrete speakers’ discourse practices. The paper is divided into two parts. The first one focuses on the concept of «identity» within Linguistics throughout 20th century. The second part deals with some possible models which may be employed in order to represent the construction of speakers’ identity as it may be observed within the interviews of the Linguistic Atlas of Sicily (ALS).
