Abstract

This paper shows how the accepted notion that discourse analytic findings must compromise generalizability to gain a detailed understanding of the area being investigated need not be the case. Instead, I show how such findings can be considered generalizable to the extent that they can show how a particular discursive strategy will often bring about the same interactional results. This means that discourse analysts can, and arguably should, claim that a discursive strategy that they have identified will accomplish similar rhetorical effects in a variety of interactions. This paper discusses what is meant by generalizability and then uses existing conversation analytic and discursive findings and examples from my own data where existing prejudice is used to justify further prejudice to illustrate the generalizability of such findings. I conclude by discussing the extent to which generalizations are possible and the implications of being able to make claims of generalizability for the discipline.

Discursive analysis can reveal how a particular discursive strategy produces the same interactional result across different settings, illustrating how existing prejudice can be used to justify further prejudice in various contexts.
“Goodman (2008) argues that discursive analysis can reveal how a particular discursive strategy produces the same interactional result across different settings, illustrating how existing prejudice can be used to justify further prejudice in various contexts.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
