ABSTRACT

This article takes the inquiry into semiotic repertoires beyond their classifications and inventories to analyse their interactions with each other and the way they gain indexicality in situated communication. As previous theorisation suggests that semiotic repertoires are deployed by agentive individuals, this article draws from New Materialism to focus on how social agents, semiotic repertoires, and material ecologies work together in distributed practice for meaning making. Expanding sociolinguistic constructs for this purpose, the article defines the relevant units and objects of analysis, and illustrates the framing of activities in indexing the values, meanings, and relationships of semiotic repertoires. The role of these repertoires in the interaction of an international community of scientists is analysed through the research group meeting of a team of microbiologists. The article demonstrates that though the focal participant from Korea claims limited English grammatical proficiency in his personal repertoire, he draws strategically from the repertoires in the physical setting and those of his disciplinary community to communicate successfully.

摘要

本文将对符号学库的分类和清单进行调查，以分析它们之间的相互作用以及它们在情境交流中获得索引性的方式。正如先前的理论表明，符号学的剧目是由代理人部署的，本文借鉴了新唯物主义，着眼于社会主体，符号学的剧目和物质生态在分布式实践中如何协同工作以实现意义。为此，本文扩展了社会语言学的结构，定义了相关的分析单位和对象，并说明了在编制符号符号库的值，含义和关系时所采用的活动框架。通过一个微生物学家小组的研究小组会议，分析了这些库在国际科学家社区的相互作用中的作用。这篇文章表明，尽管韩国的主要参与者声称他的个人曲目中英语语法能力有限，但他还是从物理方面和他的学科领域的人员中战略性地汲取了经验，以便成功地进行交流。
