Abstract
Previous research has extensively addressed the relationship between collaborative knowledge construction and communicative language use. For interactive academic talk, a broad range of socio-cultural factors has been investigated to examine group dynamics for the construction of disciplinary or linguistic knowledge. What has been overlooked, however, is a focus on the basic unit of meaning for a cognitive interpretation of knowledge structures. This study is aimed to bridge the research gap by examining the semantic–pragmatic interface involved in collaborative knowledge construction in a Higher Educational setting. Using a specialized corpus of university small group talk, this study conducts an empirical linguistic inquiry into the participants’ discursive practice of drawing particular lexical concepts to invoke and manipulate knowledge structures for meaning negotiation. The research findings contribute to understanding the relationship between linguistically represented knowledge and the way language users conceptualize the academic world.
Appendix A: Principles and properties of the Frame Semantics theory
| Theory | |
|---|---|
| Parameter | Frame Semantics |
| Nature of theory | A theory of meaning; an encyclopaedic theory which takes both linguistic and non-linguistic phenomena into account (Hamawand 2016). |
| Basic proposal | Lexicon has a frame structure. |
| Core terminology | Semantic frame: “a data-structure for representing a stereotyped situation” (Minsky 1974: 3); “a system of categories structured in accordance with some motivating context” (Fillmore 1982: 381); “a knowledge structure” based on “recurring human experience” which “relates lexical items linked with a particular scene” (Hamawand 2016: 146). |
| Structural feature | Embedding both knowledge itself and how to use die knowledge (Rumelhart 19S0); dynamic relational structures which is context-dependent (Barsalou 1992); an interpretative device (Fillmore 1985); describing a type of event, relation, or entity and the participants in it (FrameXet Project 1997). |
| Meaning claim | The meaning of words can only be fully (be best) understood with reference to a structured background of experience, beliefs or practices (Fillmore and Atkins 1982; Kittay and Lehrer 1982; Barsalou 1992; Fauconnier 1992, 1997; Fauconnier and Turner 2006, etc.). |
| Relation to context | Highly context dependent |
| Fundamental | Semantics and pragmatics. |
| Traditional usage | To characterize word meaning m terms of experience-based schematizations of die speaker’s world (Petnick 1996). |
