    Text, Discourse, and Discourse Analysis

    Uploaded by

    Rizki Diliarti Armaya
    Text refers to a completed communication that forms a unified semantic whole, such as a sequence of sentences or propositions. Discourse refers to language in use as a socially situated process, representing the hierarchical structure of utterances, acts, and propositions constructed by participants in communication. Meaning is not contained entirely within the text, but must be constructed by the reader using context along with the text. Discourse analysis is the study of language in use through a range of multidisciplinary approaches, with the goal of analyzing language use in social contexts beyond the sentence level.

    TEXT, DISCOURSE, AND DISCOURSE ANALYSIS

    TEXT
    Crystal (1997) Text Linguistics is the formal account of the linguistic principles governing the structure of texts Knapp & Watkins (2009) Text is any completed act of communication

    Text is a semantic unit which constitutes a certain unity of meaning, which contains sequences of sentences (other unities are morphemes, lexemes, syntagma and sentences) Jan Ifversen Text is a semantic unit containing specific textual components, which makes it internally cohesive and functioning as a whole as the relevant environment for the operation of the theme and information system. - M.A.K. Halliday

    Cornish (2008) Text is the connected sequence of verbal signs and non-verbal signals in terms of which discourse is co-constructed by the discourse partners in the act of communication

    The meaningfulness of texts does not depend on their linguistic size

    DISCOURSE
    Candlin (1997) Discourse refers to language in use, as a process which is socially situated Cornish (2008) Discourse refers to the hierarchically structured, mentally represented product of the sequence of utterance, propositional, illocutionary and indexical acts that the participants are jointly carrying out as the communication unfolds

    TEXT AND DISCOURSE


    Meaning doesnt lie completely within the text, it has to be constructed by the addressee or reader (and the speaker/writer!) via the text in conjunction with an appropriate context. discourse is a (re-)constructive, and so highly probabilistic matter: from the addressees or the readers point of view, it is in no sense a question of simply decoding the text in order to arrive at the complete message intended by the speaker/writer.

    CATEGORIES OF DISCOURSE
    1) Anything beyond the sentence 2) Language use 3) A broader range of social practice that includes non-linguistic and non-specific instances of language

    DISCOURSE ANALYSIS
    Discourse Analysis is a term used to describe a range of research approaches that focus on the use of language

    characteristics of discourse studies


    concerned with language use in social contexts essentially multidisciplinary

    Discourse Analysis = Doing Analysis
