"To Take Them at Their Word": Language Data in the Study of Teachers' Knowledge.
Freeman, Donald
Harvard Educational Review, v66 n4 p732-61 Win 1996
A representational view of language assumes that words represent thought. Also necessary is a presentational approach, in which language users are seen as participants in wider social systems and words are statements of connection. An integrated approach uses both views to understand teachers and teaching in the social context. (SK)
