Abstract This paper demonstrates the value of studying co-occurrence ‘quads’ – constellations four non-adjacent lemmas that consistently co-occur across spans up to 100 tokens for understanding discursive change. We map meaning onto quads as ‘discursive concepts’, which encompass encyclopaedic semantics, pragmatics, and context. investigate a high-frequency quad with high strength in EEBO-TCP: ...

11 Abstract Computer supported discursive learning (CSDL) systems for the support of 12 asynchronous discursive learning need to fulfil specific socio-technical conditions. To 13 understand these conditions, we employed design experiments combining aspects of 14 communication theory, empirical findings, and continuous improvement of the investigated 15 prototypes is employed. Our theoretical pe...

This article introduces a qualitative research method called discourse tracing. Discourse tracing draws from contributions made by ethnographers, discourse critics, case study scholars, and process tracers. The approach offers new insights and an attendant language about how we engage in research designed specifically for the critical-interpretive and applied analysis of discourse. More specifi...

The objective of this research is formulated in the understanding of this shift between knowing and knowledge when describing prac...
