Using language
A. Discource Analysis
·
When we use language, we do not necessarily do so in random and
unstructered way. Both conversation and
written texts have various devices for welding together miscellaneous
utterances in to a cohesive whole.
These are two accounts of Geoge meal below
a.

delight. Curry had always been George’s favourite food. The curry was subtly
flavoured. George detected hints of cumin and coriander in the curry, cumin and
coriander are george’s favourite spices.

Discource analysis is the
study which deals with this topic. It overlaps with stylistics, the study of
linguistics and literature.
These are two versions of the same language;
1. Edna: someone ought to lock up Fred
Minnie :Fred is
a disgrace
Edna: someone
caught Fred peeping at the new lodger through the bathroom window
Minnie: what is
the name of the lodger? Is he name of the new lodger Arabella or Annabel?
2. Edna: Fred ought to be locked up.
Minnie: thats
man’s a disgrace
Edna : he was
caught peeping through the bathroom window at the new lodger
Minne: what’s
her name? Is it Arabella or Annabel?

The overall results is that
the whole dialogue becomes linked together into a cohesive whole
B. Politeness
Ø
Politeness is best
expressed as the practical application of good manners or etiquette. It
is a culturally-defined phenomenon, and therefore what is considered polite in
one culture
can sometimes be quite rude or simply eccentric in another cultural context.
Ø these are examples;
·
Shut the door!
·
I wonder if you’d mind
shutting the door?
·
There’s quite a draught in
there
(djlasin lisan ae ya mbak?:)
Ø
Humans everywhere tends to
be polite in similar ways, based on two basic social requirements: ‘No
criitism’ and ‘No interference’.
Ø
The various strategies
occur worlwide, but they are not necessaryly found in every language.
