Lexical Meaning in Dialogic Language Use
Sebastian Feller
Lexical Meaning in Dialogic Language Use addresses a number of central issues in the field of lexical semantics. Starting off from an action-theoretical view of communication meaning is defined as something that speakers do in dialogic language use. Meaning as ‘meaning-in-use’ opens up a new… read more[Dialogue Studies, 9] 2010. vii, 184 pp.
Language as Dialogue: From rules to principles of probability
Edda Weigand
With her theory of ‘Language as Dialogue’, Edda Weigand has opened up a new and promising perspective in linguistic research and its neighbouring disciplines. Her model of ‘competence-in-performance’ solved the problem of how to bridge the gap between competence and performance and thus… read more[Dialogue Studies, 5] 2009. viii, 410 pp.

2015 Dialogic knowledge building in learning communities: Discovering an electric circuit through collaborative learning Dialogue in Multilingual and Multimodal Communities, Koike, Dale and Carl S. Blyth (eds.), pp. 195–219 | Article
In modern education, there has been an increasing emphasis on creative thinking, collaborative problem-solving and critical discussion. In this chapter, I argue that learning communities foster these skills and thus provide a strong foundation for deep learning; i.e. learning that is based on deep… read more

2014 Teaching and learning as explorative action games. Guidelines for the design of dialogic educational technology Educating in Dialog: Constructing meaning and building knowledge with dialogic technology, Feller, Sebastian and Ilker Yengin (eds.), pp. 223–239 | Article
In this paper, I develop a view of teaching and learning as explorative action
games (TaLEAG). The concept of the action game is borrowed from Weigand’s
(2010) Theory of Dialogic Action Games or Mixed Game Model (MGM). The
MGM rests on two basic assumptions: communication is dialogic and… read more
2014 Uncertainty as integrated part of meaning and understanding Communicating Certainty and Uncertainty in Medical, Supportive and Scientific Contexts, Zuczkowski, Andrzej, Ramona Bongelli, Ilaria Riccioni and Carla Canestrari (eds.), pp. 99–114 | Article
In this chapter, we discuss the issue of uncertainty in language and communication. The starting point for the discussion is Weigand’s (2010) Mixed Game Model, a theory of dialogic language use. Feller’s (2010) meaning-in-use, which conceptualizes meaning construction as a dialogic process, puts… read more
2014 The good, the bad, and the ugly: The co-construction of identities in dialog Language and Dialogue 4:3, pp. 341–356 | Article
In this paper, I will present a dialogic view of identity. I argue that identity is not a static description of who or what a person or thing is rather than the outcome of, what I call, a dialog of cultures. In a broad sense, identities are negotiated or, co-constructed, against the background of… read more

2012 Recent developments in HCI: Implementing cultural models in human–computer interaction Language and Dialogue 2:3, pp. 465–478 | Article
In this article I critically discuss four studies in the area of Human–Computer Interaction (HCI) research. The focus is on distinct dimensions of culture including both verbal and para-verbal behavior in communication. My discussion is grounded in Weigand’s (2010) theory of dialogic action games… read more
2011 Language use and the lexicon Language and Dialogue 1:1, pp. 129–145 | Article
In this article I critically discuss two state-of-the-art theories of meaning in Cognitive Semantics: Evans’ (2006, 2009) LCCM-Theory and Jackendoff’s (2010a, 2010b) Parallel Architecture. The main focus will be on how these theories define meaning and how they represent it. This will serve as a… read more

In the present article I will critically discuss various approaches to irony originating from different disciplines.
