出于各种原因和目的，学习和对话可能会自然地产生不确定的感觉和表达。然而，很少有研究探讨语言不确定性的模式是如何制定和随着时间的推移，学生相互影响，他们正在创建的对话系统的变化。本研究描述了发生的不确定性表达的研究生合作，在计算机为媒介的讨论，谈判和构建理解的新概念，从课程阅读。我们报告的不确定性是如何表达在网上同步和异步的讨论和其表达的特点。我们还探讨了这种表达的前因和后果。研究结果表明，学生表达的不确定性，往往在许多方面，这种表达似乎是整合在一个动态系统的影响对话。我们的结论是，适当地处理和表达不确定性的能力是一个重要的技能，在网上的学术背景下，可能涉及到学生的智力工作的过程中挪用的话语，他们的学科，因为他们使学术文本的意义。
Learning and dialogue may naturally engender feelings and expressions of uncertainty for a variety of reasons and purposes. Yet, little research has examined how patterns of linguistic uncertainty are enacted and changed over time as students reciprocally influence one another and the dialogical system they are creating. This study describes the occurrence of uncertainty expressions of graduate students collaborating in computer-mediated discussions to negotiate and construct understandings of new concepts from course readings. We report on how often uncertainty was expressed in online synchronous and asynchronous discussions and the characteristics of its expression. We also explore the antecedents and consequences of such expression. Findings indicate that students expressed uncertainty often and in many ways and that such expression seemed to be integrated in a dynamic system of influences on the conversation. We conclude that the ability to deal with and express uncertainty appropriately is an important skill in online academic contexts that may be related to the intellectual work of students in the process of appropriating the discourse of their academic disciplines as they make meaning of scholarly texts.
