Study Notes
Text and Discourse
- Text refers to organized sequences of paragraphs, representing extended speech.
- Discourse encompasses language use within social, political, and cultural contexts, extending beyond individual sentences.
- Discourse includes expressions of thoughts, conversations, and discussions, both spoken and written.
Brainstorming and Organizing Techniques
- Graphic organizers visually display information, illustrating relationships between ideas.
- A thesis statement articulates the main assertion of the writer or speaker.
- A sentence outline employs full sentences to structure information, while a topic outline uses keywords or phrases.
Patterns of Development
- Coherent stories require a logical sequence of events to engage readers effectively.
- Persuasive texts present various viewpoints, aiming to persuade readers to adopt specific arguments or actions.
- Descriptive texts utilize vivid sensory imagery to enhance readers' understanding of concepts, emotions, or experiences.
Properties of Well-Written Text
- Structure involves organizing narrative components clearly: beginning, middle, and end.
- Mechanics emphasize correct spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and word choice for clarity.
- Transitional devices connect statements logically, improving text coherence.
- Euphemisms replace harsh terms with milder expressions (e.g., "financially challenged" for "poor").
- Jargon refers to specialized language used by specific groups or professions.
- Coherence is achieved through logical organization, allowing smooth flow from one idea to the next.
Claims in Argumentation
- Good claims should be argumentative, specific, engaging, and logical.
Claims of Fact
- Make quantifiable assertions based on data, answering "what" questions.
- Claims should be verifiable through reliable sources to differentiate them from inferences.
Claims of Value
- Assert qualitative judgments regarding morality, philosophy, or aesthetics, evaluating what is deemed right or wrong.
- Explore societal values by questioning the desirability of certain standards.
Claims of Policy
- Advocate for specific actions to resolve problems, often using "should," "ought to," or "must."
- Evaluate the effectiveness and appropriateness of proposed solutions.
Hypertext and Intertext
- Hypertext allows non-linear information presentation with links, enabling navigational exploration of content.
- The World Wide Web is a vast hypertext network linking information globally, enhancing user access to varied content.
- Hyperlinks improve navigation by connecting users to related information through clickable elements.
Intertextuality and Pastiche
- Intertextuality merges text development methods like imitation and creation, influenced by other texts.
- Jacques Derrida introduced intertextuality concepts, focusing on how texts interact and shape meaning.
- Pastiche mimics the style of another text respectfully, contrasting with parody.
