DAY 2 - MORNING SESSION - DAMIAN

WRITTEN DISCOURSE
What makes a text cohesive?
  • VERB FORM -historic present when narrating stories - it sounds more immediate/ spoken discourse

  • PARALLELISM - use the same lexical form in a sentence/clause "she came, she saw"

  • PRONOMIAL REFERENCE-avoid repeating a noun

anaphoric reference:when a pronoun refers back(it was mentioned before) - I was looking for my daugther. I found her

cataphoric reference: when a pronoun refers foward in the text- "Nobody seemed to know where they came from, but they were in the forest: Kanga and Baby Roo'.

exophoric reference/xenophoric reference: retorical questions+reference; refers to sth outside of the text.

  • REPETITION AND LEXICAL CHAINS: different words with similar meaning.

antonyms/sinonyms; hipenyms(furniture - table, chair)/hyponyms(pigs, dogs - animals); meronyms(refers to sth referring to parts/features of it).

  • SUBSTITUTION: in real life people do not answer in full sentences" Do you like pizza? Yes, I do.

  • ELLIPSIS: When we drop parts of a sentence "Where did you go? Movie!"

  • CONJUNCTIONS(sentence and discourse)

*additive: add information (and, moreover, plus)

*adversive:contrast(but, however, on the other hand, nevertheless)

*causal: reason(because, so therefore,due to, consequently )

*temporal: time(first, next, then, in the end, later, firstly)

*ellaborativ/exemplitive:(such as, for instance, in fact, hence etc)

*discursal: to change topis(anyway, by the way, etc)
