Talk:Framing (sociology)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Proposed merger of Framing (communication theory), Framing (psychology), Political frame, Loaded language and Frame analysis into this article

I have already done a haphazard merge to this page, but if consensus is reached for any of these articles to be merged, they can be changed to a redirect to this page. In order to reach consensus please state what you think should happen and your reasons for that. This is not a vote, just a good way of gathering information.

  1. Support With the exception of rethorical phrase 'Loaded language' I guess its a good idea, all of those stub/start size articles reffer to the same concept. But perhaps framing (social sciences) would be a better title, if we are to include points of view of psychology and political science, too?-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  20:55, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


  1. Oppose Sample blah. blah, blah...


[edit] Discussion

I can see the merit of merging most of these articles, but I think Loaded language belongs in the category of propoganda rather than framing. Need to see more discussion before I jump into the poll.--Cberlet 14:19, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

On the whole, I support the idea, but I am not sure about Loaded language either.1Z 17:00, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

If a reader wanted to end up at rhetoric or Propaganda they would go to those pages dreckly. But I agree that loaded language does fit into a number of different umbrellas. If there is concensus that loaded language should be merged somewhere, and no placed agreed upon, then turning it into a dab page would be best. Grumpyyoungman01 22:36, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment. Consider merging talk discussions and project headers from merged pages...-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  05:58, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Title

Are you proposing to keep the current title? Shouldn't it just be called "Framing".1Z 17:00, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

"Framing" is currently a disambiguation page. If the dab page were to be moved to Framing (disambiguation), then Framing (construction) and Picture frame would have first dibsies on the clean title. I am not proposing that the title be kept, Framing (social sciences) is a good alternative proposal, but that is the sort of stuff that can really be figured out later.

I will go with framing (social sciences) per my above proposal.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  05:57, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
