    TEXT VS. DISCOURSE
    TEXT is made up of sentences.

    DISCOURSE is the use of such


    sentences.
    • A text is a large unit of written language.
    • Discourse is a process of activation of a text by
    relating it to a context of use
    TEXT VS. DISCOURSE
    A text is made up of sentences
    having the property of
    grammatical cohesion.

    A discourse is made up of
    utterances having the property
    of coherence.

    topical consistency of different parts of a
    text.

    TEXT VS. DISCOURSE
    TEXT is defined in terms of its
    being a physical product.
    Meaning is not found in text.

    DISCOURSE is viewed as a
    process.
    Meaning is derived through the
    reader’s interaction with the
    text --> discourse.
    • Text is a group of ideas put together to make
    a point or central idea.
    • Discourse is an expression of ideas.
    Text as discourse

    Discourse is embedded in texts


    and that texts make up discourse.

    The text is the observable product


    of the writer’s or speaker’s discourse.

    WHAT IS
    READING?
    What is reading?
    READING is a cognitive process
    of decoding symbols to derive
    meaning from a text. It is
    always an interaction between
    the text and the reader.
    We read to gain and share
    information and ideas, whether
    for academic, personal, or
    professional purposes.
