Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1,7, AKAD University of Applied Sciences Stuttgart, course: Text analysis an text production, language: English, abstract: This work deals with the seven key criteria for textuality as developed by de Beaugrande and Dressler. The key criteria for textuality, which were developed by de Beaugrande and Dressler in 1981, encompass: Cohesion, coherence, intentionality, acceptability, informativity, situationality and intertextuality. To develop an understanding of this matter is of importance for anyone who is working in the field of text production. As examples may serve the professions of journalists, authors, translators, teachers and many more. A thorough understanding of the criteria for textuality will bring with it an expanded capacity of producing, analyzing and understanding texts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2020 in the subject Literature - Basics, grade: 1,3, AKAD University of Applied Sciences Stuttgart, language: English, abstract: Can sentences or words that express statements or questions by any means be accepted as a text? Must a text be informative and well-intended to its recipients to be valued as textual, or does it solely need to be meaningful and suitable for the context? Furthermore, what exactly does the word ‘text’ or ‘textual’ even mean? Although one may have an intuitive understanding of what a text is, it can be necessary to establish a clear distinction between a text and a non-text. The understanding of what makes a text a text is particularly interesting, not only for translators, interpreters or linguists, to mention only a few, but also for anyone who aims to produce comprehensible texts. The knowledge helps to produce texts, where clear references of textuality can be made visible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2021 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Genres, grade: 1,3, AKAD University of Applied Sciences Stuttgart, language: English, abstract: The aim of this study is to define the seven key criteria which ensure that a text functions as a text and to illustrate them by using concrete examples from the speech ‘A More Perfect Union’ by Barack Obama. It will be discussed how each criterion operates to make a text a text and thereby fulfil its textual function. At the beginning and as an introduction to the topic, the term text will be defined and the connection to the seven standards of textuality will be set up. This will lead to the main part of the work, in which the definition of each of the seven key criteria and their functionality will be pointed out, explained by means of concrete examples from the speech of Barack Obama. The conclusion consists of a condensed summary of the topic.
Book Synopsis What makes a text a text? by : Ulrike Gabert
Download or read book What makes a text a text? written by Ulrike Gabert and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2020-09-14 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2020 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 1.3, AKAD University of Applied Sciences Stuttgart, language: English, abstract: In this essay, the question of what makes a text a text will be discussed. The seven key criteria of textuality defined by Beaugrande and Dressler will be explained using an example of a classic American drama. The question at what point a text is a text or whether a text can be called a text at all is one of the core questions of linguistics and goes all the way back to the ancient Greek language theory of Plato and Aristotle, which dealt with this topic at the most basic level. In the 1960s, the expression “text” became a focus of linguists with the development several definitions of what a text is. Since then, numerous definitions have been formed and there is no consensus about which one is the best, but one can find many similarities among them. The 1981 work of the Austrian linguists Robert-Alain de Beaugrande and Wolfgang U. Dressler has been used as the basis for many discussions and definitions of text ever since. Their work is often seen as a good framework for agreement which is based on seven criteria of textuality.
Book Synopsis Text Linguistics by : Jonathan Webster
Download or read book Text Linguistics written by Jonathan Webster and published by Equinox Publishing (Indonesia). This book was released on 2014-09-30 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether prose or poetry, how does a text come to mean what it does? A functional-semantic approach to text analysis, such as is illustrated in this book, offers a revealing look at the resources of language at work in the creation of meaning, and a unique perspective on the text as object of study. Believing the best way to learn about text linguistics is through the analysis of full texts, the author includes analyses of texts, both spoken and written, drawn from a variety of genres, including examples of religious and political discourse. In the first section, the author provides an overview suitable to those who are new to the theory and methodology of Systemic Functional Grammar and Rhetorical Structure Theory. Building on this foundation, section two presents the findings from several case studies in text analysis, demonstrating how to conduct indepth functional-semantic analysis of selected texts. This second section will benefit both beginners and those who have already had some background in the study of linguistics. Text Linguistics is the ideal choice for those who are learning about text linguistics, and functional approaches to language study.

Book Synopsis Text Type and Texture by : Gail Forey
Download or read book Text Type and Texture written by Gail Forey and published by Equinox Publishing (UK). This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Texture - the quality that makes a text 'hang together' as a text - is a key focus of investigation in discourse analysis. This volume provides a systematic overview of recent research on textual resources that are used to construct texture, and on the ways in which these resources are deployed differently in different text types. Theme is the major resource that is explored in the first part of the book. The opening papers set out the current understanding of Theme and explore aspects of the concept which remain controversial in the field. This is followed by an examination of thematic choices in a range of text types. Issues raised include the different kinds of meanings appearing in Theme which are particularly significant for each genre, the ways in which these relate to the broader socio-cultural context, and the ways in which thematic choices interact with other kinds of texturing. In the second part of the collection, the scope widens to include an examination of other resources, particularly the contribution to texture made by patterns of interpersonal choices, in Theme and more broadly across texts as a whole. The volume closes with an overview and illustration of a methodological approach by which our understanding of texturing can be further extended.
Book Synopsis Introducing Electronic Text Analysis by : Svenja Adolphs
Download or read book Introducing Electronic Text Analysis written by Svenja Adolphs and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-09-27 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introducing Electronic Text Analysis is a practical and much needed introduction to corpora – bodies of linguistic data. Written specifically for students studying this topic for the first time, the book begins with a discussion of the underlying principles of electronic text analysis. It then examines how these corpora enhance our understanding of literary and non-literary works. In the first section the author introduces the concepts of concordance and lexical frequency, concepts which are then applied to a range of areas of language study. Key areas examined are the use of on-line corpora to complement traditional stylistic analysis, and the ways in which methods such as concordance and frequency counts can reveal a particular ideology within a text. Presenting an accessible and thorough understanding of the underlying principles of electronic text analysis, the book contains abundant illustrative examples and a glossary with definitions of main concepts. It will also be supported by a companion website with links to on-line corpora so that students can apply their knowledge to further study. The accompanying website to this book can be found at http://www.routledge.com/textbooks/0415320216
Book Synopsis Semantics by : Igor? Aleksandrovi? Mel??uk
Download or read book Semantics written by Igor? Aleksandrovi? Mel??uk and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 459 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an innovative and novel approach to linguistic semantics, beginning with the idea that language can be described as a system for the expression of linguistic Meanings as particular surface forms or Texts. Semantics is specifically that system of rules that ensures a correct transition from a Semantic Representation of the Meaning of a family of synonymous sentences to the Deep Syntactic Representation of a particular sentence. Framed in the terms of Meaning-Text linguistics, this volume discusses in detail the problems of Semantic Representation including the semantic structure of utterances, the semantics of Causation in English, and communicative, or information, structure. Based on the author's life-long dedication to the study of the semantics and syntax of natural language, this book is a paradigm-shifting contribution to the language sciences whose originality and daring will make it essential reading for linguists, anthropologists, semioticians, and computational linguists.

Therefore, the works of the leading expert on the language of texting, David Crystal, serves as the theoretical basis. To determine how and how often certain features are used, a corpus of text messages will be analyzed. Furthermore, the paper will present the main causes and incentives responsible for the development of these features; it will start with general information on the corpus, followed by a description and analysis of the most commonly used linguistic features, their usage, and purpose.
Book Synopsis Text and Context in Functional Linguistics by : Mohsen Ghadessy
Download or read book Text and Context in Functional Linguistics written by Mohsen Ghadessy and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1999-06-15 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The shift towards a sociolinguistic approach to the analysis of language in the last few decades has necessitated new definitions for a number of concepts that linguists have taken for granted for a long time. This volume attempts to demystify the important notions of ‘text’ and ‘context’ by providing clear definitions and examples within the assumptions of Systemic Functional (SF) linguistics. After a discussion of the role and significance of context by three eminent SF linguists in section one, the influence of context on text is dealt with in section two ‘From Context to Language’. Section three ‘From Language to Context’ considers textual features and their relationship to contextual factors. All the contributors base their analyses on data collected from a variety of spoken and written registers of contemporary English.
