[Xmca-l] Re: Gordon Wells

In almost all the compilation volumes I have read on the Halliday/Vygotsky
nexus, there is a tendency towards division of labor: the Hallidayans
pretty much ignore Vygotsky and the Vygotskyans pretty much ignore Halliday.

Not with Gordon Wells, though. And not here either. Lemke starts off like
with what he insists are THREE themes:

(1) linguistic resources for making meaning
(2) human development and the operation of higher mental functions
(3) situated social interaction and historically evolved cultural patterns
of practice

Hang on! Isn't that really FIVE? At least!

Not so. The operation of higher mental functions in you and in me is an
instance of a historical process called human development, and situated
social interaction is likewise an instance of historically evolved cultural
patterns of practice. So from the get-go, Jay Lemke signs up to Hasan's
understanding of the "cline of instantiation" (and the crucial distinction
between instantiation on the one hand and realization on the other).

Are linguistic resources simply the latest instance of making meaning? Or
is it better to think of linguistic resources as "realizing" ("real"-izing,
but also achieving conscious awareness of and control over) meaning-making?
