- A. Crystal &
Davy's
Anmerkungen:
- Crystal and Davy's approach to stylistic analysis is that any use of language displays/shows certain features that we first we must allocate them to a particular linguistic levels and then we must assign them to one stylistic category to analyse a text.
- 4 definitions term "Style"
Anmerkungen:
- 1 y 2 descriptive (1. individual uniqueness and 2. general description of a group of people at one time).
3. Evaluative: the effectiveness of a mode of expression (good manners/high breeding)
4. Mixed approach, overlapping/superposition of the other three approaches (descriptive and evaluative).
- Style always involvesan appreciation of contrast between alternatives. Style may then be seen as the selection of a set of linguistic features from all the possibilities in a language.
- Crystal and Davy's analysis deals just with the first and the second description of Style (the descriptive approach) excluding evaluative and mixed approach(literary language
- 1. LINGUISTIC ANALYSIS

- Graphetics
Anmerkungen:
- Graphetics: is the branch of linguistics concerned with the analysis of the physical properties of the symbols that constitute writing systems.
- Despite there being just 26 (anis) letters/graphemes there are 44 (cocos) phonemes.. But it also important to take into account SUPRASEGMENTAL FEATURES when analysing a text: tone, stress, pitch range, pause, loudness, speed, rhythmicality, tension.
- 1.2. PHONOLOGICAL/GRAPHOLOGICAL LEVEL
- Phonology
Anmerkungen:
- is the branch of linguistics that studies the rules which organise sounds converting this into a language system.
- Despite there being just 26 graphemes (smallest unit in a writing system) -que huelen a anis 26-; there are 44 phonemes in English -que suenan como 44 cocos chocando-
- But, apart from the 26 graphemes and the 44 phonemes, it is also important to take into account SUPRASEGMENTAL FEATURES: tone, stress, pitch range = tone (lanzamiento=pitch), pause, loudness, speed, rhythmicality, tension.
- Graphology/graphemics
Anmerkungen:
- Graphemics: is the branch of linguistics concerned with writing and print signs as systems of language.
- The basic components of a writing system are called graphemes (in ENglish 26 units that constitutes the alphabet)
- As graphemes may or may not correspond to phonemes (44 cocos) of the spoken language, other graphemes that are included in the writing system are: special symbols such as: $% and the punctuation marks as: space, full stop, semi-colon; hyphen, - en dash - em dash -, quotation marks, apostrophe
