13: Language of Discourse Analysis by
James
Paul Gee
The terms that I am having trouble with in the textbook Language
of Discourse Analysis by James Paul Gee are: “prototypical,” and “intertextuality.”
What does he mean by other text when he mentions this word? There is no other
text than a word itself, right? Other terms I am having trouble with are: “decontextualized,”
“essayist literacy,” and “berating.”
Some of the building tasks of language that applies to my
research project, which is the features of romance novels, are: relationships
and connections. How does each genre of romance connect to the other? What are
their similarities and differences? What relationship(s) do the novels Rebecca
and Twilight
have in common? Do the romances have the same pattern, or do they differ somehow?
My main questions in my research paper are based on comparisons of the romance
novels.
