46. Lexical cohesion of the text (m.A.K. Halliday, r.Hasan).
Lexical cohesion is a linguistic device which helps to create unity of text and discourse.
Lexical cohesion includes:
1) repetition,
2) synonymy a) antonymy, b) hyponymy
3) collocation
M.A.K. Halliday & Ruqaiya Hasan five categories of cohesive devices creating coherence:
1) reference, 2) ellipsis, 3) substitution, 4) lexical cohesion and 5) conjunction.
Referential devices that create cohesion (M.A.K. Halliday, R. Hasan)
Anaphoric reference occurs when the writer refers back to someone or something that has been previously identified, to avoid repetition.
Anaphoric reference
Pronouns: personal, possessive, demonstratives
Adjectives: previous, above, former, latter, equal, corresponding
Adverbs: here, there, then, thus
Nouns: accusation, advice, excuse, gossip, lie, reply, report, story, summary, verdict, warning
Determiners: such, same
Cataphoric is a reference forward as opposed to backward in the discourse. Something is introduced in the abstract before it is identified.
Demonstratives: this, these
Adjectives: following, next, such
Adverbs: below
47. Coherence :: cohesion of the text. Types of relations of coherence.
Coherence of the text - is what makes a text semantically meaningful.
Types of relations of coherence:
Causality
Enablement
Reason
Purpose
48. Spontaneous and induced discourse.
Another basic distinction lies in the difference between spontaneous discourse and induceddiscourse.
Spontaneous discourse refers to discourse produced by subjects in their everyday lives. Books, records of court proceedings or television programs, for example, frequently comprise the basic material of sociological discourse analysis. Although these discourses are produced by subjects for specific aims and these aims differ from those of sociologists, they are appropriate for certain types of research purposes. However, induced discourses, produced within the framework of research, are more often the fundamental material which sociologists work with when conducting analyses. In the majority of cases, sociologists prefer to focus on discourse induced by social research methods as it enables them to maintain a relatively high level of control over the conditions in which these discourses emerge. This type of discourse is usually produced in the framework of in-depth interviews or via group dynamics, particularly in the form of group discussions. For this reason, we will refer chiefly to induced discourse when examining the methods used in sociological discourse analysis, while bearing in mind that these approaches can also be applied to spontaneous discourse.
49. Discourse analysis as a social research method.
Discourse analysis as a social research method - is grounded in two basic assumptions:
the knowledge of social intersubjectivity provides us with indirect knowledge about the social order because intersubjectivity is a product of it and because the social order is formed and functions through this social intersubjectivity;
discourse analysis allows us to understand social intersubjectivity because discourses contain it and because social intersubjectivity is produced through discursive practices.
