This document discusses key concepts in discourse analysis including:
1) The difference between discourse and text, with discourse referring to language use in context and text being any written or spoken communication.
2) How coherence is created in texts through cohesive devices like reference, substitution, ellipsis, conjunction, and lexical cohesion.
3) The relationship between words and meanings in semantics and how pragmatics studies language use in social contexts.

Discourse analysis (Linguistics Forms and Functions)Satya Permadi
Discourse analysis is an umbrella term for all those studies within applied linguistics which focus on units/stretches of language beyond the sentence level (Judit, 2012). We as the human is use a natural language utterance which language serves in the expression of 'content' described as transactional and that function involved in expressing social relations and personal attitudes we describe as interactional. Spoken and written language has relation each other. But written language and spoken language have different form. The book concerns with sentence which is 'text-sentence‘, so it will connected to behavior and involves contextual considerations. The data which is used in this book is based on the linguistic output of someone other than the analyst. Besides, discourse analyst discovers regularities in his data.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

3. What’s Language?
“Language is a purely human and
non-instinctive method of
communicating ideas, emotions
and desires by means of
voluntarily produced symbols.”
– Sapir (1921) Language. Harcourt
Brace.
Edward Sapir. Photograph by
Florence M. Hendershot,

4. Language
“A language is a system of
arbitrary vocal symbols by means
of which a social group co-
operates.”
– Bloch and Trager. Outline of
Linguistics Analysis. Linguistic
Society of America/ Waverly
Press.
5. Language
“Language is the institution
whereby humans communicate
and interact with each other by
means of habitually used oral-
auditory arbitrary symbols.”
– Hall. (1968)An Essay on
Language. Chilton Books.
http://edwardthall.com/
6. Language
“From now on I will consider a
language to be a set of
sentences, each finite in length
and constructed out of a finite set
of elements.”
– Chomsky. Syntactic Structures.
The Hague: Mouton.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noam_
Chomsky
7. Linguistics approaches language
through meaning, discourse,
semiotics (or social signification),
as well as through existing
narrative and grammatical
structures.
8. Theoretical linguistics is mostly
concerned with developing models
of linguistic knowledge. Main
fields:syntax, phonology,
morphology, and semantics.
9. Applied linguistics : an
interdisciplinary field of study. It
identifies, investigates, and offers
solutions to language-related real
life problems.
Major branches : conversation
analysis, language
assessment, discourse
analysis, language
pedagogy, sociolinguistics, sec
ond language
acquisition, pragmatics, forensi
c linguistics, and translation.
10. WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IS
THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN DISCOURSE AND
TEXT?
11. A continuous stretch of language
larger than a sentence, often
constituting a coherent unit, such
as a sermon, argument or
narrative.√
(Crystal 1992: 25)
12. A stretch of language interpreted
formally, without context.√
(Cook 1989: 158)
13. A piece of naturally occurring
spoken, written, or signed
discourse identified for purposes
of analysis. It is often a language
unit with a definable
communicative function, such as a
conversation or a poster.√
(crystal, 1992:72)
14. Stretches of language to be perceived
to be meaningful, unified and
purposive.√
(Cook, 1989:156)
15. •Text: any written record
of a communicative event .
The event may itself
involve oral language or
written language .
16. •Discourse : it refers to
the interpretation of the
communicative event in
context .
17. DISTINCTION BETWEEN WHAT SENTENCES MEAN,
AND WHAT PEOPLE MEAN BY UTTERING THOSE
SENTENCES.
study of sentence/linguistic meaning =
SEMANTICS
study of utterance/speaker meaning =
PRAGMATICS
Sentences have invariant/context-independent
properties—an invariant meaning in virtue of the
meaning of the words.
Utterances are fairly concrete things: they happen;
they’re spoken; they’re heard; they’re out there in the
world. The meaning of an utterance is context-
dependent, in that it depends on the context in which
it is used and the intentions behind its use.
19. • Structural
– Thematic structure
– Information structure
Cohesive
Reference
Ellipsis and substitution
Conjuction
Lexical cohesion
20. • REFERENCE • INFERENCE
An act by which a It’s the listener’s use of
speaker uses a word ,
or words, to enable a additional knowledge
listener to identify to make sense of what
someone or is not explicit in an
something. (Yule, George utterance. (Yule, George –
– 1996:17) 1996:17)
21. Referring expressions
• PROPER NOUNS ( Mr. Burns)
• NOUN PHRASES (The singer /
a nice place)
• PRONOUNS (he, them, its,
yourself)
• DEMONSTRATIVE
PRONOUNS (this, those)
22. • Using reference is tied to all members of a
community who share the same language
and culture.
• There is a pragmatic connection between
proper names and objects.
Ex: Pass me the Shakespeare, will you?
(meaning the book whose author is the famous English play writer)
23. Pragmatics
It’s the study of the choices of
language persons make in social
interaction and of the effects of
these choices on others (Crystal,
1987).
24. • The co-text is the linguistic environment in
which the referring expression is
immersed.
• The context then is the physical
environment.
25. Cohesion is the grammatical and lexical relationship
within a text or sentence.
Cohesion can be defined as the links that hold a text
together and give it meaning.
There are two main types of cohesion:
grammatical: it refers to the structural content
lexical: it refers to the language content of the
piece.
26. A cohesive text is created in many different
ways. In Cohesion in English, M.A.K.
Halliday and Hasan identify five general
categories of cohesive devices that create
coherence in texts:
REFERENCE
CATAPHORIC ANAPHORIC
PERSONAL
DEMONSTRATIVE
COMPARATIVE

She is not giving any conferences. Her whole
cabinet is split. This has put the country

seats?
B: No, as a matter of fact, I’d

36. Other examples of substitution
Nominal

too.
Verbal
A. She always studies at night.
B. So do I.
Clausal
A: Are you going to the movies?
B: I think so.
37. Other examples of ellipsis
ELLIPSIS OF SUBJECT + FINITE
A: Marcel isn't here.
B: Never is at this time. Far too early for him.
ELLIPSIS OF SUBJECT + FINITE + PREDICATOR
A: How many are you talking about?
B: About half a dozen.
ELLIPSIS OF RESIDUE
A: Has the jury reached a verdict?
B: We have, your Honor.
38. LEXICAL COHESION
REITERATION COLLOCATION
REPETITION
It’s based on a
tendency of items to
SYNONYM
co-occur in certain
contexts.
SUPERORDINATE
HYPONYMY
ANTONYMY

other animals repeated doses of
phencyclidine.

49. It’s the starting point of the clause message. It
sets up the local context for each clause.
A formal grammatical category, the left-most
constituent of the sentence.
“it’s the discourse process by which a referent
comes to be developed as the central subject of
the discourse.” (Perfetti and Goldman)
A formal grammatical category which refers
to the initial element in the clause around which
the sentence is organized.
50. THEMATIZATION
The linear organization of the text.
It’s a discoursal process.
~
STAGING
For Clements it’s a dimension of prose
structure. It includes rethorical devices
(lexical selection, alliteration, etc.)
51. THEMES - Points of departure
The president is not willing to give up her position.
What will be the economic consequences for the country?
Fetch me the glass of water, please.
52. For functional linguistics we can
consider three types of themes:
TOPICAL (they have to do with the information
conveyed in the discourse)
INTERPERSONAL (it reveals something of the
attitude of the speaker)
TEXTUAL (it links a clause to the rest of the
discourse)
(Halliday) Language has certain
functions in society.
53. Theme Rheme
