“…The intrinsically dialogical nature of the sign becomes evident within the human practice of discourse, that is, within the psycho-social activity of connecting "dynamic objects" to "interpretants" which correspond to their understanding (Ponzio 1990). Discourse is the social practice that allows man to open up to the daily experience of the world.…”

Psycho-semiotics is a qualitative research perspective aiming at developing the seminal intuition by Peirce (1931Peirce ( -1958 according to whom man is a complex network of signs. Hence, text and talk-in-interaction are the basic "psycho-discursive practices" ( Wetherell 2008) where the intersubjective nature of sense making is revealed. Peirce is an inspiring point of reference for psycho-semiotics also at a methodological level, since he considered not only deduction and induction as research practices able to characterize the process of scientific knowledge production, but he emphasized an inferential modality labeled "abduction." Moving from such assumptions, the aim of the present paper is to introduce the notion of diatext as a reflexive way to enhance the value of this abducing procedure. Diatextual approach is a specific methodological orientation within critical discourse analysis specifically aimed at capturing the dynamics between interlocutors, text, and context which characterize any kind of human interaction. A corpus of empirical data, collected within different social contexts, will allow us to discuss and to understand how diatexts actually work as yeast for human discourses.

“…The most evident context where the necessity to root activity into interactivity becomes pertinent is the management of the sense-making and sense-giving processes, which could be considered central for the psychological analysis. The meanings do not have a monological consistence, rather they are dialogical, since they need the conjoint (and hopefully coordinated) action of several enunciative claims (Ponzio 1990). …”

The text aims to give a contribution to the discussion raised by Grossen on two relevant issues: the way the dialogical construction of meaning overlaps with the interactional format of the human experience and the degree of congruence between the theoretical asset of dialogism and the whole of techniques which could be adopted within human sciences. Till now dialogism appears to be more a seductive theoretical perspective rather than a convincing methodological apparel. Diatextualism may be viewed as the conceptual and procedural framework able to fruitfully posit psychology into the realm of the "dialogical sciences", because it is focussed on the "dialogical rationality" coming out from the relationship between transaction of meanings and interaction of actors.
