Elaborating the Grounding of the Knowledge Base on Language and Learning for Preservice Literacy Teachers
This purpose of this article is to present a qualitative inquiry into the genesis of sociolinguistic s and the contributions of eight sociolinguistic pioneers. This inquiry, based on an historical interpretation of events, reformulates the concept of validation as the social construction of a scientific knowledge base, and explicates three themes that offer a set of sociolinguistic constructs, questions, and propositions that can provide aspiring…
Critical Examinations of the Known and the Unknown in Social Science: Where Do We Go from Here
If the use of social science assumptions and beliefs is what helped set fields of professional practice on the quest for recognition in the academy, what does the recent outpouring of publications on the limits of science reveal about sociocultural research prospects at the dawn of the 21st century? The last few years alone have witnessed the publication of special journal issues on the "scientific wars" of the nineties, year long professional as…
Welfare Reform: The Positioning of Academic Work
Current welfare reform legislation raises a number of questions about how the field of human services will broaden its analytical and educational functions in a context of uncertainty about what welfare will look like in the years to come. How can information and insights about the distribution of welfare dollars and the process of leaving welfare by a heterogeneous population of clients become the basis of contrastive analysis? We describe infor…

The aim of this article is to relate language research to policy work, a relationship that has been implicitly recognized by educational researchers in their attempts to address unresolved issues in the production and utilization of written policy reports. A number of US educational policy researchers have attempted to influence the way in which policy reports can and might be produced by explicating product features that discourse researchers gl…
Interactive Frames and Knowledge Schemas in Interaction: Examples from a Medical Examination/Interview
Earlier work suggested that frame, schema and related terms could be understood as of expectation. Suggesting now that there are two distinct types of structures of expectation to which such terms have been applied, we use to refer to the anthropological/sociological notion of interactive frames of interpretation, and schema to refer to the cognitive psychological/artificial intelligence notion of knowledge schemas. Drawing on and expanding earli…

Medical professionals and parents: A linguistic analysis of communication across contexts
The study is based on analysis of videotaped conversation that occurred in five different settings involving various family members and medical professionals in a single pediatric case. We examine (1) the elaboration and condensation of information through spoken and written channels; (2) the negotiation of information exchanged in interactions characterized by different participant structures; and (3) the methodological benefit of examining inte…
