DESCRIPTION
The course as a whole focuses on linguistic form and the relationship between form and coherence. We look at different kinds of talk and different kinds of text in English. Analysing talk involves subjects such as information packaging in spoken discourse, the grammar of spoken discourse, dialogic syntax, the strategic use of pronouns, metaphor in public discourse, and multimodal spoken discourse. Analysing text involves subjects such as analysing patterns of text organisation, move structures, cohesion and coherence analysis, and analysis of metaphorical language use, with the aim of understanding the structure and rhetorical design of different kinds of text.
