The Handbook of Discourse Analysis

The Discursive Turn in Social Psychology 705
NOTES
1 For a textbook treatment of discursive
psychology in general see Harré and
Gillett (1994).
2 To someone coming from a 900-yearold
tradition of democratic
management of universities the
extraordinary degree of authoritarian
rule in US universities comes as a great
surprise. But the clash between macroand
microideals of governance is visible
everywhere in the United States.
3 The same can be seen in the recent
trend of blaming tobacco companies
for illnesses that are the result of one’s
own self-indulgence and weakness of
will.
4 Marga Kreckel (1981) noticed that there
were two codes of conduct in play in
family life. The family she studied
shared a homodynamic code with
other families of the local culture, but
also made use of a heterodynamic code
all their own.
5 Despite taking his start from Austin,
Searle (1979) has only recently taken
full account of the fact that speech acts
are joint actions (Searle 1995).
6 Working from Goffman’s way of
expressing these distinctions, Tannen
has developed the concept of discourse
framing (cf. Tannen 1993).
7 Austin came to change his mind on the
depth of this distinction, since he
realized that even in describing
something to someone one is engaged
at one level in a social act, roughly:
“Trust me!”
8 The one respect in which I would go
along with transformational linguistics
is the emphasis on syntactic
knowledge (“competence”) as
knowledge of rules.
