    Discourse can be spoken or written communication and refers to the expression of thought through language. Discourse analysis examines both small and large acts of communication and how an entire text is organized. There are four primary types of discourse: argument which uses evidence to convince, narration which tells a story, description which relies on senses, and exposition which informs neutrally. Other scholars divide discourse into expressive creative writing, poetic fictional writing, and transactional writing meant to propel action. Spoken discourse involves interpretation between speaker and listener, and features that link ideas include cohesion, coherence, discourse markers, and paralinguistic cues.

    smallest act of communication, ■ The definition of discourse thus
    the analysis can be quite comes from this physical act of

    many different disciplines have and fro” the way a runner
    theorized about the different might.
    types and functions of discourse.
    DISCOURSE STRUCTURE

    It is a term use to describe the way in which an entire text


    is organized – for example, how language is used in poem,
    in a newspaper article, or in a speech designed to read
    aloud.
    Types of Discourse

    While every act of communication can count as an


    example of discourse, some scholars have broken
    discourse down into four primary types: argument,
    narration, description, and exposition. Many acts of
    communicate include more than one of these types in
    quick succession.

    Other literary scholars have divided types of discourse into three categories:
    expressive, poetic, and transactional….

    include memoirs, letters, or online prioritize emotion, imagery, theme, and

    literary devices like metaphor and symbolism.

    3. Transactional discourse is used to propel


    something into action, such as advertising
    motivating a customer to buy, or showing a
    customer how to use a product via a manual.
    This type of discourse generally does not rely
    so much on literary devices.
    SPOKEN DISCOURSE
    Spoken Discourse is the ongoing, situated
    interpretation of a speaker’s communicative intentions,
    of which the addressee’s expected and actual reactions
    are an integral part. The creation of discourse is thus a
    joint endeavor, involving the active cooperation of all
    the participants.
    FEATURES OF DISCOURSE
    ■ COHESION – IT OCCURS WHERE THE INTERPRETATION OF ANY
    ITEM IN ATEXT OR DISCOURSE REQUIRES THE MAKING OF A
    REFERENCE TO SOME OTHER ITEM IN THE SAME TEXT OR
    DISCOURSE
    ■ COHERENCE – COHERENCE IN LINGUISTICS IS WHAT MAKES A
    TEXT SEMANTICALLY MEANINGFUL.
    ■ DISCOURSE MARKERS – ARE WORDS OR EXPRESSIONS THAT
    LINK, MANAGE AND HELP TO ORGANIZE SENENCES. THEY
    CONNECT WHAT IS WRITTEN OR SAID WITH SOMETHING ELSE.
    THEY MAKE NO CHANGE TO THE MEANING.
    ■ PARALINGUISTICS FEATURES – BODY LANGUAGE,GESTURES,
    FACIAL EXPRESSIONS,TONE AND PITCH OF VOICE ARE ALL
    EXAMPLES OF PARALINGUISTICS FEATURES.
