Karin, Peg, Ana et. al.
So we might say that those cited above are taking a dynamic perspective
of language in activity, whereby a logogenetic, unfolding of text
(meaning negotiation) is the focus, rather than a synoptic view of an
activity in a broader context? This dynamic perspective speaks to
constructions of everyday understandings of our world through language
as reflective object, which we can put up against a synoptic mode where
language might reflect more learned/schooled/higher processes?
Or perhaps I'm just saying what you said another way...
