Questions and question asking in verbal discourse: A cross-disciplinary review

Negotiating Social Identity Through Questions in Casual Conversations: A Critical Discourse Analysis

“…Therefore, second, in functional perspective, questions which are generally posed to 'elicit verbal responses' could also be echoic, epistemic, expressive and social control (Kearsley, 1976). Echoic questions require repetitions and are often the paraphrase of original questions.…”

“…There are three processes: selection, formation, and asking (Kearsley, 1976). Question selection relates to the consideration of why and how a particular question arises; question formation deals with linguistic formulation and generative rules; and asking process is the emphasis that questioning is a strategy to maintain conversation.…”

“…First, while there have been many literatures solely on questions in casual or institutional conversation (such as Kao & Weng, 2012;Kearsley, 1976;Koshik, 2003;Wang, 2006) or the relationship between language in general and social identity (see McNamara, 1997;Norton, 1997;Price, 1996), yet the analysis that question is as a potential means to establish identity remains relatively under-explored in the theoretical territory (Kao & Weng, 2012;Tracy & Naughton, 1994). This article seeks to contribute to that area of inquiry.…”

Dancing onto the page: Crossing an academic borderland

“…Transitioning these discoveries into an academic context, Dance 724 engages students in qualitative research activities that critically reflect on how new knowledge might be revealed through embodied practices (Madhavan & Grover, 1998;Pakes, 2003), autonarration (Dyson, 2007;Hamilton, Smith, & Worthington, 2008), verbal discourse (Kearsley, 1976;Van Dijk, 2011) and acts of creation, performance and pedagogy (Perry & Medina, 2011). These diverse and very sensual practices challenge dogmatic discourses within academia that argue that practice-led arts research is incommensurable with research in other disciplines (see for example, Haseman, 2006).…”

“So what would you say your thesis is so far?”: Tutor Questions in Writing Tutorials

“…Coding schemes of questions have been proposed for specific discourse domains, such as informal conversation (Kearsley, 1976;Freed, 1994) and classrooms (Riegle, 1976;Wong, 2010).
