Hi, I recently submitted a research paper, which investigates how people construct knowledge in an online discussion forum context, to a journal. The research method draws on Discourse Psychology (see Edwards and Potter, 1992), which formulates talk and text as the site of action and accomplishment, and which is consequential. It's an elegant and fascinating methodology. However, my paper was rejected on the basis that it does not integrate discourse psychology with computational semiotics. Now, I am no expert on the latter, but I would have thought that there is absolutely no grounds for synergy whatsoever between these two fields. Have I missed something quite major here?
