LESSON 1
TEXT AS CONNECTED DISCOURSE
A text is generally considered as written material, especially longer pieces of writing as in a book, a letter or a newspaper. Discourse is generally regarded as spoken. Jorgensen and Phillips put forth the qualities of a text as:
2. To connect a statement which is more factual and exact with a preceding statement that is more debatable and general.
Example: The internet is very popular in Australia. Indeed (or In fact), Australia has the highest proportion of Internet users per head of population of any country in the world.
5. Informativity. There is a quantity of new or expected info.
6. Situationality. The text's topic is situationally and culturally appropriate.
7. Intertextuality. The text can be linked to preceeding discourse.
Written text is also described as written discourse, especially when a simple analysis of it reveals that is connected discourse.
1. Cohesion. The parts are connected.
2. Coherence. The overall text has meaning.
3. Intentionality. The writer's attitude and purpose can be discerned.
4. Acceptability. The text is recognized.
Connectives for listing arguments
Firstly
This can be used for the first supporting argument.
Secondly, furthermore, moreover, in addition
These can be used for any further supporting arguments (except, of course, for "Secondly" which can only be used for the second.
Finally
This can be used for the last supporting argument.
In fact/Indeed
These two connectives have almost the same meaning and both can be used in the following situations:
To connect a more detailed statement with a preceding general statement
Example: Today is very warm. In fact (or Indeed) it is 35 degrees Celsius.
Written text acquires the characteristics of connected discourse when:
1. Its ideas are linked logically.
Here are some steps to make a logical division of idea paragraph:
Begin a logical division paragraph with a topic sentence.
In the supporting sentences, discuss each point one after the other.
Introduce each new point with a signal word or phrase.
In addition, support each point with a convincing detail such as an example or statistic (numbers, amounts, percentages, etc).
Finally, end a logical division paragraph with a concluding sentence.
Concluding Connectives
Three common concluding connectives are:
In conclusion
These all carry roughly the same meaning. They should be used to indicate that you are making final statements that cover all the supporting arguments in a very general way.
In summary
