    Suggested Pattern of the Article Analysis

    1. Note the author of the paper. If you know who he or she is, mention it in the
    analysis. Note the original source of the article (a popular newspaper, a quality
    paper, a magazine, a journal, etc.). The publication it appeared in can lend or
    deny the material credibility.
    2. Analyze the headline of the article. Mention the characteristic features of
    headlines which can be traced in your article. The headline will tell you a lot
    about the content of the article: the geographical focus, period, subject, and
    sometimes something about the authors approach or interpretation. Dwell
    upon the second heading (the lead), if any.
    3. Determine the type of writing (descriptive, discursive, narrative) used in the
    article.
    4. State the subject-matter of your article. The author might be obvious or subtle
    about it. Articles generally focus on a particular event, change, person,
    phenomenon or idea.
    5. Define what facts and type of reasoning (deductive or inductive) the author
    uses to present his/her arguments.
    6. Dwell on the aim of writing the article. Does it seem to be refuting someone
    else's interpretation of some event or phenomenon? Is it offering new
    information?
    7. Analyze the formal organization of the text (an introduction, a main body,
    a conclusion). Is the text coherent and cohesive? What are the meaning and
    lexical links in it? What techniques for beginnings and endings does the author
    use (addressing the reader directly, mentioning background information, asking
    a rhetorical question, stating the reason for writing; making a thought-
    provoking statement, making a prediction for the future, summarizing the main
    opinion, making reference for further action)?
    8. Dwell upon the general character of the text: the style with regard to the target
    reader (formal, semi-formal, informal), the slant (dramatic, ironical, humorous,
    tragic, etc.), forms of presentation (the authors narrative, reported speech,
    direct speech). Define the stylistic peculiarities of the article: the authors
    choice of the vocabulary (neutral, descriptive, emotional, formal,
    conversational, technical), EM and SDs used in it.
    9. What conclusions does the author arrive at?
    10.What's your attitude to the problems brought up in the article? Do you
    agree/disagree with the author? Express your own opinion.
