Group-level analysis on multiplayer game collaboration: how do the individuals shape the group interaction?
2010
In this study, the aim was to examine how small-group collaboration is shaped by individuals interacting in a virtual multiplayer game. The data were collected from a design experiment in which six randomly divided groups of four university students played a voice-enhanced game lasting about 1 h. The ‘eScape’ game was a social action adventure developed as a part of the study. In the analysis of the video data, students' discourse functions during the game were analysed with content analytic methods for studying the nature of their interaction. An effort was made to analyse the data on both group and individual levels, and therefore the participants' prior social ties and experience in gami…
Collaborative processes during report writing of a science learning project: The nature of discourse as a function of task requirements
2000
The aim of this article is to specify how different aspects of task assignments are related to different types of student discourse during the report writing phase of a science learning project. A group of four ninth-grade students of the Finnish comprehensive school (about 15-year-olds) participated in a project work involving laboratory experiments, reading literature, and analysing and reporting research findings. The empirical data were collected through videotaping and interviews in authentic classroom settings. The results indicated that construction of shared, high-level understanding was quite rare in this case of small group interaction. As one of the main reasons for this, we sugg…
Europe’s Path to Public Reason
2012
Chapter 7 highlights how addressing public issues publicly is a main target of European institutions, considering their commitment to the identification of shared values and the protection of rights. In consideration of this, it is reasonable to ask whether the “Public Reason” set forth by Rawls can be somehow applied to Europe’s current perspective, understanding it to be the ruling criterion governing public issues. A major obstacle is to be found in the anti-pluralistic attitude which is widespread across the European states. However, constitutionalism, which is nowadays widely rooted on a global scale, makes contemporary political communities to characterize by disagreement and by the n…
Ethics of Vulnerability
2016
The chapter begins by showing the facticity of vulnerability in different situations of life. Then, it asserts, as do authors such as Williams, Nagel, MacIntyre or Nussbaum, that western ethics has relegated the vulnerable nature of individuals and has brought to the fore the ideal of self-sufficiency, autonomy, will of power or of agency, when sketching models of good life. But, going beyond that, the question asked, in a third stage, is how to establish a foundation for the moral obligation of protecting vulnerable beings as a requirement of justice, and the chapter presents three relevant answers. Firstly, an ethics of care in the tradition of Hyginus, Heidegger, Boff and the Ethics of E…
Dignidad y bioética: el caso de las intervenciones biotecnológicas de mejora de la especie
2014
Este articulo trata de participar en el debate en torno al uso del concepto de dignidad en la bioetica. No solo tratara de mostrar que este puede ser utilizado con sentido, sino que defendera que se trata de un termino clave necesario para la reflexion bioetica, especialmente, dentro del debate sobre la mejora humana. Para ello, este concepto debe ser analizado al detalle y definido del modo mas claro posible. Lo cual tratare de realizar de la mano de tres fuentes: la teoria del reconocimiento propuesta por Axel Honneth, la etica del discurso de Karl Otto Apel y Jurgen Habermas, y el enfoque de las capacidades de Martha Nussbaum y Amartya Sen—he de anadir una cuarta fuente a esta enumeracio…
Críticas inmanentes al pensamiento de Jürgen Habermas: la teoría de la lucha por el reconocimiento y la ética de la razón cordial
2020
El presente articulo trata de presentar los modelos teoricos de Axel Honneth y Adela Cortina —teoria de la lucha por el reconocimiento y etica de la razon cordial, respectivamente— como una respuesta critica a algunas deficiencias localizadas en la teoria de la accion comunicativa y la etica del discurso habermasiana. Tras exponer los elementos mas importantes de los modelos de Habermas, sistematizare algunos de los problemas fundamentales que se derivan de ellos. En segundo lugar, reconstruire el significado de la teoria de la lucha por el reconocimiento en el sentido de una superacion de la dicotomica separacion habermasiana entre sistema y mundo de la vida ; para realizar, en tercer luga…
Habermas y Levinas: hacia el diálogo desde dos niveles
2014
A continuación presento las conclusiones de una investigación motivada por la necesidad de crear condiciones para el diálogo en sociedades no consolidadas democráticamente. Planteo una relectura de la ética discursiva habermasiana desde las críticas que hace Emmanuel Levinas a la filosofía de la Totalidad y, desde allí, propongo una serie de aportes, incluso complementarios, entre los autores. El diálogo se hace posible, pero implica la consideración de otros niveles de análisis que en principio no están contemplados en la teoría de Jürgen Habermas.
Co-occurrence of discourse markers in English : from juxtaposition to composition
2019
Abstract In this paper, we report on a qualitative analysis of co-occurring discourse markers, that is, sequences of adjacent discourse markers that belong to the same unit but may express different functions. We examine several formal and functional features of these co-occurring strings on the basis of corpus examples extracted from conversational data in English. In particular, we focus on scope, meaning-in-context (or functions), syntactic category and position. Our analysis reveals several degrees of integration: differences in scope allow us to differentiate juxtaposition and combination of markers. In the case of combination, difference in meaning integration allows us to distinguish…
Using discourse segmentation to account for the polyfunctionality of discourse markers:The case of well
2021
Abstract A large number of studies describe the many different functions of polyfunctional discourse markers like well in different contexts and from different theoretical perspectives. In the current paper, we propose to systematize the many different uses identified based on their position with respect to the discourse units they are associated with. Not only can previous findings on well be integrated into a single coherent representation of its uses and functions, but the positions with respect to the discourse units can also be associated with specific functions, thus shedding light on how the polyfunctionality of well is brought about.
Combinations of discourse markers with repairs and repetitions in English, French and Spanish
2020
Abstract Discourse markers have a central role in planning and repairing processes of speech production. They relate with fluency and disfluency phenomena such as pauses, repetitions and reformulations. Their polyfunctionality is challenging and few form-function mappings are stable cross-linguistically. This study combines a functional and a structural approach to discourse markers and their combination with and within repetitions and self-repairs in native English, French and Spanish, in order to establish the inter-relation between these three fluency-related devices and to find potentially universal patterns of use. Qualitative coding and quantitative analyses of categories of markers a…
