Document Summary
The relationship between language and the contexts in which it is used. The description and analysis of both spoken and written interactions. Goal: to provide a deeper understanding and appreciation of texts and how they become meaningful to their users. The discourse structure of texts (mitchell ,1957): how people organize what they say: conversations and interactions with people, what features goes first and last in a conversation. It"s such a beautiful day today here in kyoto vs hi dr. corcoran, i just wanted to remind you that i will be absent next class. Cultural ways of speaking and writing: please and thank you: differ from context to context. Identifying those features, but relating it in a social sense through communication. Following a text chain between people and analyzing it; idea for final paper. Discourse as the social construction of reality ie. the bbc panorama interview with diana, princess of wales.
