Text and discourse analysis
DozentIn: Sandra Handl
Veranstaltungstyp: Seminar
Ort: nicht angegeben
Zeiten: Fr. 12:00 - 14:00 (wöchentlich)
Beschreibung: After a brief consideration of the general differences between speech and writing, we will discuss some fundamental text-linguistic notions (e.g. style, cohesion, coherence, intertextuality, etc.) and apply these and other criteria in analyses of various kinds of texts (e.g. spontaneous spoken discourse, newspaper articles, e-mails and other kinds of Internet language, song lyrics, political speeches, etc.). Emphasis will also be put on the relationship between textual and pictorial elements, e.g. in ads. To round off, we will consider how textual material is decoded and understood by addressees.
