- Speaker: Teun van Dijk, is a scholar in the fields of text linguistics, discourse analysis and Critical Discourse Analysis
Author of several monographs including Text and context. Explorations in the semantics and pragmatics of discourse. London: Longman, 1977, Strategies of Discourse Comprehension. with Walter Kintsch. New York: Academic Press, 1983, News as Discourse. Hillsdale, NJ: Erlbaum, 1988.
Annotation: In this lecture I'll tell about the progress of my new book Discourse and Knowledge by summarizing some results of the respective chapters of this multidiscpliinary study. I propose a new, relativist and naturalistic approach to knowledge defined as beliefs shared and justfied by the criteria of an epistemic community. I summarize how knowledge is involved in the cognitive processes of discourse production and comprehension, and how knowledge as a form of social cognition, just like attitudes and ideologies is shared in a sociocultural epistemic community or in specific social groups, for instance through epistemic institutions such as schools and the mass media. Since knowledge depends on the criteria of epistemic communities, an anthropological approach studies the cultural variation of knowledge(s) across the world. Finally, the linguistic and discourse analytical approach to knowledge goes beyond the usual study of the expression or presupposition of knowledge in sentences -- as is the case for the study of topic and focus, evidentials, modalities or presuppositions -- and details how knowledge is managed in discourse for the establishment of global (discursive) topic and focus, local and global coherence, various kinds of description, granularity, and many other properties of knowledge based on the expression of semantic situation models controlled by pragmatic context models.
Fantastic lecture!❤ Captivating, clear, straitforward... Convincing and passionate❤❤❤ Real scientist!
He really knows how to captivate the audience, an excellent speaker. A comprehensive and absorbing lecture on Discourse and Knowledge with excellent examples.
at last i know the face of this well-known professor whose books i used for my undergraduate thesis
thanks for sharing
Extremely informative, Van Dijk is a remarkable researcher and great speaker, much respected 👍👏
When I feel sad about the world, I watch this video. Then, Van Dijk empowers me!
when I read the research papers on context models and cognition; I feel quite the opposite! hahaha
Brilliantly simplification of Discourse in relevance to Cognition too
Absolutely brilliant! He blew the doors wide open and opened windows on the topic for me.
His written works are interesting too,,,but the way he delivers sentences is wonderful,,, coherent and articulate,,,,,
Well explained, much respect. Idk why these guys make it so complicated in their books.
I studied with him in Barcelona, he is as nice as he seems.
His books are not easy to read but his talks are opposite. Thank you.
i agree. his book is omg
+Alex _ conversely. he writes very clear. Compare him with M. Minsky and you will agree with me.
@@grammarnaziferopont3386 Totally don't get it. His writting style is truly straight forward.
Unfortunately some scholars are more concerned about how to appear sophisticated than to solve the problems of poor students!!!
@Alex _ hi Alex, how did your thesis turn out for you? I hope all went well, the process is truly a difficult time.
I wish I had such Pr. on my discourse analysis course
How humble and simple is he !!!
Thank you, since his book is not easy to be comprehended, this video helps me a lot.
I agree with the comments that his writings are different from his lectures. His books use a quite sophisticated language structure whilst his speechs are so straightforward. He's an amazing scholar.
I can hear this lecture / this class time and again. What a wonderful and clear explanation of ideas on discourse, context and knowledge. Thank you so much!
This video is marvelous
he is amazing and strong. i could understand the discours analysis in a new way
Thank you for such new knowledge
this a very informative talk. thank you so much prof. Teun van Dijk
It is really an interesting lecture by an expert professor.
Excellent!!
Outstanding ..
Very nice.
I like him and his style
TEUN VAN DIJK. . DISCOURSE AND KNOWELEDGE.
thank you prof.
Like him, very intelligent !
Epistemic community (kinda like collective imaginarium)
--> they have criteria of knowledge, (epistemic criteria)
--> and a common ground (things that everyone in here already know)
knowledge comes usually in language use, but language also affects knowledge (ie topic (what is known) + focus (new info))
-languages can mark *how one knows the focus* (i've seen that... they told me...), can be explicit or implicit
-they also can mark how sure one is
common ground (through general knowledge, context, memory, people, aaa there are 5 main ones tho)
51:50
metaphors shape mental models. they have to do woth body experiences (esp. when creating fear)
1:31:36 contribution here (and the previous one) is mid. like. being mindful of how you use language is not the be-all-end-all of activism idk.
taking notes
Lovely
Love it
Is it possible to know from which country are u ?
why not..
from Saudi arabia
Fatih Kunda He's from Spain (Spaniard)
Remarkable
Indeed ,the language used is held either way so separate or perceivers there are who perceive separately without relating language to the social topic and its depth...This happened to me in a court case in Pakistan ,when I told the judge about that situation that here at this point what is being uttered wont match with the future experience of this reality.Judge said as if holding me moron and herself smart enough ..What has this got to do with psychology?....Mathematical logic of language when used cognitively is great..
Certain definitions should be displayed on slides. Anyhow very elaborative
Yeah i still have trouble distinguishing context models from mental models
informative
van Dijk and de beaugrande ....they are the best in text linguistics
I want someone to help me supporting my research with a methodology that serves the problem statement.
Can you help me?
@@user-eq6oy1um7e His comment is 5 years old, I do not think he is gonna reply, bro.
@@user-eq6oy1um7e What exactly do you need ?
Nice
I need material on bit theory of You and me ...where can I find that

About my next work!
Teun van Dijk Discourse and Knowledge
funny how the audience did not actually know that Boston was a washing machine (19 min) cause this brand it is not popular in Russia, and it's also an example of pressuposision of mutual context)
thanks, talks is easier from his books.
Try to read Fairclough's method . it is interesting too
Are there any one know how I could text Teun A. Van Dijk ?
How can I use this theory in the analysing of political cartoons
Sounds like Paul Verhoeven :-)
although interesting, I disagree that cognitive perception is in itself independent. Cognitive perception of any subject is largely attributed to a person's social environment.
the young blond woman didnt sound australian to me.....she sounded british. im always curious about accents (and dialects), specifically how and why they formed historically and socio-culturally....what were the pressures and influences that went into creating a northern white english australlian accent as opposed to an accent from the western part
or southeastern part of australia. of course there are elements of power implicated in the existence of various english accents (upper classes speaking differently from lower working classes; basil bernstein did a study on this) but i think the creation of dialects is less a function of social differentiation of power dynamics and more a function of geography. is it possible that regionally localized accents are a metaphorical manifestation of epistemic communities? and are what we call "accents" always really dialects?
That's not an Australian accent. :-)
Agreed. She is certainly British (London? South East I think).
i am at 15`min of the video and wondering here... so it means that there would be no one single analysis of a discourse as an analysst's own context and cognitive stucture will have an effect on the way a piece of discourse , as communicative event, will be interpreted? between the corpora and the "objective' method of doing discourse analysis there is an interface of the cognitive make up of the analyst him or herself?
Barbara Bomfim have a look at van Dijk's sociocognigive approach to Critical Discourse Analysis. He discusses all grammatical, syntactic, semantic and pragmatic, as well as cognitive aspects of texts.

That comment on undergraduate students is uncalled for. Whats wrong if there were undergrad kids in the seminar? What a snob!
I think it's more of a comment on working with students who are also researching within your field, which undergraduates sometimes are, but graduate students with an advisor always are. I'm sure that he would quite enjoy working with intrepid undergrads who are conducting research as well!!
It's because he can assume they have an intermediate knowledge of linguistics, philosophy and sociology, so he can get into more complex subjects.
Басурманин что-то лепечет.
Interesting lecture. What I do not like, is he drinking water, so annoying! just leave that bottle on the table. I agree a little too snob.
He is a thirsty man. We have all been there before. I wouldn't judge him for it, just as I wouldn't judge you for the same.
It is really an interesting lecture by an expert professor.
