Abstract
Linguistic characterization of text types: the electoral campaign speech as an exampleThis article focuses on the main linguistic feature of the text types or genres: the textualstructure. We propose a textual structure that supplements the sequence of stages (cf.Eggins and Martin, 1887) with the hierarchical organization and the semantic relationsmaintained between stages. The proposed approach to this structure combines moveanalysis (cf. Swales, 1990; Upton and Connor, 2009) with theories of coherencerelations (cf. Mann and Thompson, 1988; Wolf y Gibson, 2006). The analysis adoptsthe model of supra-sentential units articulated by Garrido (2007); those units areidentified through the changes in patterns of cohesion. Our approach is illustrated withan election campaign speech.Downloads
