In my revisions my main goal was to clarify my ideas on the building task within the dentistry discourse. In both my paragraphs there was a lack of identifying what discourse dentistry was apart of, so within I made sure to mention clearly what discourse I was identifying. I also started in the second paragraph that there could be a potential point of trying to wrap in the way that transferring between the discourse, but being still in the same dominant discourse. I started to make the move in the paragraph below, but I am still trying to gather some more data before I go through with this idea in my whole paragraph. This helped me a little bit more on my structuring for my paper. I think this movement of using Gees building task to show the resemblement between the two different practice in the same discourse. I also in both my paragraph tried to apply the formulas. I stated first my ideas I was displaying, then what Gees ideas was, lastly used my data to prove my point. I made sure to analyze my data clearly.
Throughout life someone will show a specific discourse they take part in by displaying a set of identities that relate to that discourse. Gee describes a identity, as something “we use [as] language to get recognized as taking on a certain identity or role, that is, to build an identity here and now” (33). It is a task, or way of speaking that shows they are fluent in a Discourse. A common identity of a dentist in a dominant secondary Discourse is someone who has a lot of knowledge, which can be shown by ,“a bachelor’s degree, a dental degree (DDS or DMD)… [and] also was required to get a masters in craniofacial biology”(Meru 1). As a dentist in a dominant secondary discourse they have to understand a variety of terms that will be used in everyday procedure. Not having all this information would not allow the dentist to be able to diagnose a patient properly can would not allow their to be prestige. This prestige can come from a patient, which can allow for a relationship between the doctor and patient with his proper doings of procedures.
As a dentist in a dominant secondary discourse they use their specific identities to have successful practices throughout their work days. The idea of practice is “social recognized and institutionally or culturally supported endeavor[s] that usually involve sequencing or combining actions in certain ways” (Gee 17). The practices are ways of practicing what is learned, or expected for that specific Discourse. Although there are ways of transferring ideas into different parts of the Discourse, “as one can transfer a grammatical feature from one language to another”(Gee 9). As orthodontist the idea needed are similar, but things can be advanced to be able to practice different things. As an orthodontist their main goal is dealing with “a lot of adult interdisciplinary cases that I treat in conjunction with the dentist, periodontist, prosthodontist and surgeon”(Meru 1). As Gee would explain he is transferring his knowledge in that field to someone in that field that is more specialized in the specific issue. They work in a way that builds a connection in order to make sure each patient is properly taken care of.
