Text As Connected Discourse

Discourse involves language use beyond the sentence level, including context and shared background knowledge between speakers. Connected discourse refers to continuous sequences of spoken language forming conversations. Discourse analysis examines linguistic units larger and smaller than sentences and how sounds influence surrounding segments in connected speech.

DISCOURSE
Ms. Marinel E. Morandarte
What is DISCOURSE?
spoken and written language

cannot be confined to sentential limitations; it


goes beyond the limits of sentence

involves the context, background information


or knowledge shared between a speaker and
hearer.
What is CONNECTED Discourse?

In linguistics, it is a continuous
sequence of sounds forming
utterances or conversations in
spoken language.
•Discourse is the creation and
organization of the segments of a
language above as well as below
the sentence. It is segments of
language which may be bigger or
smaller than a single sentence
but the meaning is always
beyond the sentence.
•The term discourse applies to both
spoken and written language, in fact to
any sample of language used for any
purpose. Any series of speech events or
any arrangement of sentences in written
form wherein successive sentences or
utterances hang together is discourse.
Discourse cannot be confined to
sentential limitations. It is something
that goes beyond the limits of sentence.
•Discourse is sometimes used in contrast
with 'text,' where 'text' refers to actual
written or spoken data, and 'discourse'
refers to the whole act of
communication involving production
and comprehension, not necessarily
entirely verbal. . . . The study of
discourse, then, can involve matters like
context, background information or
knowledge shared between a speaker
and hearer."(Bloor & Bloor, 2013)
•In another words
discourse is 'any
coherent succession of
sentences, spoken or
written' (Matthews,
2005).
What is CONNECTED Discourse?
The analysis of connected speech
shows sounds affecting linguistic
units tradionally described as
phrases, words, lexemes,
morphemes, syllables, phonemes
or phones.
•Connected speech, or
connected discourse, in
linguistics, is a continuous
sequence of sounds forming
utterances or conversations
in spoken language.
•Analysis of connected
speech shows sounds
changes affecting linguistic
units traditionally
described as phrases,
words, lexemes,
morphemes, syllables,
phonemes or phones.
•"Connected speech is more
than just a string of
individual target segments
joined together in series,
since each segment is liable
to influence the segments
that surround it.
•The precise form that these
influences take is determined by
the particular language in
question, and so the phonology
of connected speech is part of the
phonology of the language that
the child has to master...”

Word Meaning Semantics

Pragmatics
Language in use
The way in which words are
put together to form
phrases, clauses, or
Syntax sentences; the arrangement
of words and phrases to
create well-formed
sentences in a language.
A meaningful linguistic unit that is
an item in the vocabulary of a
language; a basic lexical unit of a
Lexemes language consisting of one word
or several words, the elements of
which do not separately convey
the meaning of the whole.
A word or part of a word
that has meaning and that
contains no smaller part that
Morphemes
has a meaning, for example
as the free form pin or the
bound form -s of pins.
The smallest unit of speech that can
be used to make one word different
from another word; any of the
perceptually distinct units of sound in
Phonemes a specified language that distinguish
one word from another, for example
p, b, d, and t in the English words pad,
pat, bad, and bat.
The branch of linguistics and logic
concerned with meaning. The two
main areas are logical semantics,
concerned with matters such as sense
Semantics and reference and presupposition and
implication, and lexical semantics,
concerned with the analysis of word
meanings and relations between
them.
The branch of linguistics dealing with language in
use and the contexts in which it is used, including
such matters as deixis (the pointing or specifying
function of some words [as definite articles and
demonstrative pronouns] whose denotation
changes from one discourse to another), the
Pragmatics
taking of turns in conversation, text organization,
presupposition, and implicature (the action of
implying a meaning beyond the literal sense of
what is explicitly stated, for example saying the
frame is nice and implying I don't like the picture in
it.)
