Ideology: (shared set of values, unifying structure, trying to represent reality) A coherent set of social values, beliefs, and meanings. The values, beliefs and meanings of the dominant class. (critical approach) Primary oral culture: thought experiment, no writing just speech. Mnemonic devices: keep track of things, to have memory. Rhyming, alliteration or tool to help you remember. Dialogic: usually when your engaged/talking to other people. Conservative: radical ideas or out of box thinking not encouraged. Homeostatic: means body is self-regulated in biological sense. Writing: shared understanding of what something means/coded. Definition: a coded system of visible marks whereby a writer could determine the exact words that the reader would generate from the text.
