TEXT AS CONNECTED DISCOURSE


Definition
• Text as connected discourse refers to the organization and
structure of texts to convey meaning and maintain coherence.

• It involves the use of linguistic devices and organizational


strategies to link sentences and ideas together seamlessly.
• Coherence is the underlying principle, which refers to
the logical flow and meaningful connections between
ideas within a text.

• Cohesion is another important aspect, achieved through


cohesive devices such as pronouns, lexical repetition,
conjunctions, and transitional phrases.

• Text structure plays a vital role in organizing texts,


including narrative, descriptive, expository,
argumentative, and persuasive structures.
• Analysis of connected discourse can be done at two levels:
macrostructure and microstructure, focusing on higher-level
organization and lower-level linguistic elements, respectively.

• Textual devices, such as rhetorical questions, similes,


metaphors, alliteration, and onomatopoeia, are used to
enhance understanding and engagement.
TOPIC SUMMARY

The effectiveness and clarity of communication in


connected discourse depend on the use of cohesion,
coherence, text structure, and various textual devices.
