Harry,
I wonder if this - *the connections made between different modalities of
utterance* - may also be the precise point into which we can look to
see the actual genesis of meaning - how the new concepts and
understandings are forged AND how the new symbols are made.
I would also like to know more about what counts as a "third space
pedagogy". Is it the work of Carol Lee and Kris Gutierrez?
I think that the concept of the "third space" is still in the making and
that different people might have different associations. But I find it
very important because it is that new dimension that is missing in many
discussions of the "relation between utterance and social categories".
