Qualities of a Text
- Jorgensen and Phillips (2002) outlined qualities of a text, including cohesion and coherence.
Cohesion
- Cohesion refers to the grammatical connections within a text.
- It focuses on the grammatical aspects of writing ensuring parts of a text are connected.
- Anaphoric Relation: Interpretation of text from previously expressed identity. Example: CHELSEA arrived in Mexico... everybody adored HER.
- Cataphoric Relation: Refers forward to an identity to be expressed. Example: SHE dazzled the world... - CHELSEA MANALO, the winner of Miss Universe Philippines 2024.
Coherence
- Coherence means a text has a clear and logical meaning through connections, logic, and consistent understanding.
Intentionality
- Intentionality is the writer's attitude and purpose in a text.
- The purpose or meaning of the text needs to be evident and discernible from the text.
- A text with intentionality has a clear purpose.
- For instance, "Buy now and save 50%."
Acceptability
- Acceptability means a text is recognized and accepted by the academic community.
- Reader acceptance is critical to recognizing text validity.
- Useful or relevant details of a text make it worth accepting.
Informativity
- Informativity is the quantity of new or expected information in a text.
- A text should provide fresh perspectives or data; not just repeat what's already known.
Situationality
- Situationality ensures that a text's topic and content are culturally and situationally appropriate.
- The text should consider race, religion, etc., to be sensitive and appropriate.
Intertextuality
- Intertextuality connects a text to previous discourse for clearer understanding of the succeeding ideas.
- Interpretations of earlier texts affect comprehension of newer texts.
