A formal way or lengthy discussion where concepts and insights are arranged in an organized manner. It refers to how a language is used to convey meanings or to propel action to provoke a specific response. Purpose of Discourse 1. To inform – to provide a descriptive and comprehensive discussion of the topic. 2. To persuade – aims to persuade, tries to convince the readers that the proposed claim or solution is better than any other proposal. 3. To entertain – aims to amuse provides a source of entertainment for its readers. Basically, anything that is structurally “beyond” the sentence is a discourse. o Discourse focuses on how we connect sentences together. A discourse is mainly about how language is used to connect sentences together so that it carries more meaning than a single sentence.

TEXT AS A CONNECTED DISCOURSE • TEXT Made up of sentences having the property of grammatical cohesion. • DISCOURSE Made up of utterances having the property of coherence. When we say coherence, the overall text has meaning while cohesion on the other hand means that every part is connected with one another. ST. NICHOLAS SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL OF CABANATUAN CITY, INC.
