Framing Frameworks: Final Considerations about Framework Development

Abstract

AbstractIn this concluding chapter, we look back on the contents of Re-presenting Research as a whole. We offer insight into the theoretical and applied insights that are generated through this book, which concern the framework itself, compliance with the aims that were set for the framework, the genre of popularization discourse as a whole, and applied insights. Options for further research are discussed, which include branching into other modes of popularization, focusing on the producer of popularization texts, the application of the framework in other settings, adding an evaluative component to the framework, and the construction of controversy in popularization discourse. Lastly, we offer some considerations for those readers wanting to develop their own analytical framework, whether it be to analyze popularization discourse or any other type of genre or text.
