  • Hello RObert, thanks for your comment. I’m not sure I fully understand your request though. For example, what do you mean by “sciences assume they can explore stipulated meanings to guide their research” and why/how does this contrast (“while”) with using ordinary language to engage the public. Critical realism isn’t a linguistic theory (it is a philosophical, sociological and scientific one) but I suppose it does have implications for language. Thanks for helping me to understand the context of your comment further, JuliaThanks, Thomas, and thanks for all your engagement over these years! Will upload the thesis asap to wherever these things get digitally archived (you’ll see you are in the reference list 😉

  • I wish to show my appreciation to you just for bailing me out of this dilemma. After checking through the internet and coming across advice which were not powerful, I assumed my life was gone. Being alive without the presence of solutions to the issues you have sorted out all through this short article is a crucial case, and the ones which may have badly affected my career if I had not come across the blog. Your personal competence and kindness in dealing with all things was invaluable. I don’t know what I would have done if I had not come across such a thing like this. It’s possible to at this time look forward to my future. Thank you very much for this high quality and results-oriented help. I won’t think twice to suggest the sites to anybody who should get guidelines on this matter.
