LEZIONE FEDERICI
Lesson n°2
Minimal text:
short sentence that tell me something I must do.
E.g. KEEP LEFT, KEEP OUT, DANGER, EXIT
Minimal texts are complete in terms of communicative
meaning.
A text: !
a stretch of language complete in itself.
A sign:
Is an image that give you a message.
•We know what the message is intended to be according
to the context where we are;
•We can have an alienation of message.
So a text is dependent on its use in an appropriate
context.
We understand a text thanks to the context. The
reader will have a reconstruction of the writer’s
intended message, because it’s a communicative
discourse, so the reader looks for signals to
reconstruct the writer’s intended meaning.
Textual and contextual meaning are both important,
the text in facts may have intrinsic linguistic or
formal properties (its sounds, typography,
vocabulary, grammar and so on). The context means the
pragmatics (the meaning of language in discourse).
