Semántica y pragmática de los verbos doxásticos en la interacción oral en español. Un estudio monográfico sobre la forma verbal 'creo'
2019
La presente tesis doctoral es un estudio monográfico sobre la forma verbal performativa doxástica 'creo', concretamente, en sus manifestaciones en el español interactivo oral de España, de los últimos treinta años (1989-2017). Realiza un análisis del comportamiento semántico y pragmático de esta forma verbal en dos tipos de corpus actuales entre lo más informal y lo más formal: la conversación coloquial y el debate parlamentario. El objetivo principal de la investigación es describir la red polisémica de valores semánticos que manifiesta 'creo', como elemento de subjetividad, con el fin último de comprender, mejor de lo que se ha hecho hasta la fecha y dadas las dificultades para definir su…
‘It Goes Around the World’ – Children’s Understandingof the Internet
2019
The Internet has become an important literacy environment, even for children. Therefore, building the foundations for their critical engagement with online information should start when they first enter school. One way to start is to help children build an understanding about the complexities of the Internet environment. The present study aimed at increasing our knowledge about children’s understanding of the Internet as a technical and social environment. It also explored how children perceive the trustworthiness of online information. The participants included 30 children aged 7–9 years. The children were interviewed and the data was analysed using content analysis. We share the results f…
Evidentials and Epistemic Modality
2018
Abstract This chapter deals with the relation between the notional domains of information source and epistemic modality. It surveys various approaches to this relation and the cross-linguistic patterns of the way in which linguistic units (of diverse formats) with evidential or epistemic meanings develop extensions whereby they encroach into each other’s domains. Meaning extensions in either direction can adequately be captured, and confusion between both domains can be avoided, only if in the analysis of the meaning of such units (a) an onomasiological and semasiological perspective and (b) a coded-inferred divide are distinguished. Thus, epistemic extensions often arise as Generalized Con…
(In)congruence between presupposing teacher turns and the student’s epistemic stance : case analysis of teacher turns that presuppose the student to …

Episteemisyyden eli tietoon pääsyn tutkiminen luokkahuonevuorovaikutuksessa on kasvattanut suosiotaan keskustelunanalyyttisessa tutkimuksessa viime vuosina. Kasvavan kiinnostuksen taustalla on ajatus siitä, että oppiminen tapahtuu vuorovaikutuksessa toisten kanssa, kun taas vuorovaikutusta ajaa eteenpäin osallistujien välinen tiedollinen epäsymmetria. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoitus on lisätä tietoa episteemisyydestä luokkahuonevuorovaikutuksessa. Tarkastelin opettajan aloitevuoroja, joihin oli sisäänrakennettuna oletus oppilaan pääsystä tietoon eli oletus siitä, että oppilas tietää vastauksen kysymykseen. Lisäksi tarkastelin oppilaiden vastauksia opettajan kysymyksiin, sekä niitä seuraavia ope…
Constructing knowledge : epistemic practices in three television interview genres
2011
This study analyses epistemic practices in broadcast television interviews, focusing on three different interview genres: celebrity interviews, sports interviews and political interviews. In the analysis I examine the linguistic and interactional practices that are used to construct knowledge in the interviews. These practices include mobilization of different types of knowledge, use of assessments to invite first-hand knowledge, negotiation of epistemic stances while disaligning with the question, and use of assessments for claiming or contesting epistemic rights to authority and expertise. The study comprises four articles and a summary. Article I focuses on celebrity interviews and analy…
Return to politics Uncertainty, debate and political action in the theory of democracy Benjamin R. Barber
2014
La teoría de Benjamin Barber ha renovado por varias razones su actualidad al cumplirse 30 años de la edición de Strong Democracy. Me interesa desarrollar en este artículo la relación que Barber establece entre la necesidad de la acción política, la incertidumbre epistemológica del ámbito político y la deliberación. Reconocer esta relación puede ayudarnos a explicar la inevitabilidad de la política y, por tanto, retornar a ella. No cabe duda de que en nuestros tiempos globalizados es fácil reconocer la necesidad de la acción y la incertidumbre, por lo que la teoría de Barber puede indicarnos cómo sobrellevarlas. Si la propuesta de Barber fue en su momento una inspiración para nuestras preten…
Keep Calm in Heated Debates: How People Perceive Different Styles of Discourse in a Scientific Debate
2021
Scientific debates are, in an epistemological sense, argumentative approaches aimed at coming to the most appropriate conclusion. However, as these debates sometimes involve interpersonal rather than content-driven attacks (e.g., an argument between scientific experts might involve personal dislike), the following question arises: How do such communication behaviors affect people’s perception of the argument? In an empirical study, we presented prospective teachers (N = 222) with a newspaper article about two scientific experts controversially discussing the pros and cons of a fictional vocabulary training program. Using a 1 × 2 between-subject design, the article contained either a neutral…
The global spread of the concept of cultural policy
2020
The article studies UNESCO's program that, from the late 1960s onward, aimed at spreading globally the concept of cultural policy. An essential part of the program, UNESCO invited member states from different regions of the world to prepare reports on national cultural policy. That was successful in spreading cultural policy as a concept and as a governmental structure. Except for only Australia, Canada and the United States, in which cultural policy is handled at a sub-state level, all countries that produced a national report have established a ministry of culture, typically synchronously with the report. The analysis suggests that UNESCO's success was due to two factors: the process of d…
Source unreliability decreases but does not cancel the impact of social information on metacognitive evaluations
2015
International audience; Through metacognitive evaluations, individuals assess their own cognitive operations with respect to their current goals. We have previously shown that non-verbal social cues spontaneously influence these evaluations, even when the cues are unreliable. Here, we explore whether a belief about the reliability of the source can modulate this form of social impact. Participants performed a two-alternative forced choice task that varied in difficulty. The task was followed by a video of a person who was presented as being either competent or incompetent at performing the task. That person provided random feedback to the participant through facial expressions indicating ag…
Design in education and training
2019
À partir d’entretiens réalisés auprès d’entreprises innovantes du secteur de l’éducation et de la formation, cet article étudie les processus par lesquels ces entreprises innovent. Les observations portent sur le positionnement des entreprises innovantes dans le champ de l’éducation, les contraintes qui les structurent, les processus mis en œuvre dans le déploiement des services et produits, et l’organisation de la communication sur le design. Les résultats de l’analyse lexicométrique contribuent à décrire une épistémè du design innovant qui à la fois structure et limite le travail des designers. Celle-ci renverse en partie l’épistémè tayloriste du design industriel tout en héritant de cert…
