Résumé We show that the semantic level for discourses, understood as a dependency representation, can be mathematically characterized as DAGs. Our argumentation is based on discourses with three clauses and two discourse connectives. This simple case allows us to state that DAGs for discourses are not arbitrary: they present structural constraints. Nous montrons que les représentations sémantiq...

This chapter reviews Anna Sfard’s book, Thinking as communicating: Human development, the growth of discourses and mathematizing (Sfard, 2008).

We use this to outline a model of how discourse can be mobilized as a strategic resource. The model consists of three circuits. First...
