To update= aggiornare

The previous lesson was about the position of the reader in the study of literally text.

To hand in= portare dentro

To hand out= portare fuori

Storyline= storia (di un romanzo, sfrutta gli eventi)

Plot= trama/intreccio (caratteristica semiotica in cui si valuta il modo in cui i fatti vengono raccontati)

Text types= tipologie testuali

Per analizzare un testo letterario:

<!--[if !supportLists]-->1.   <!--[endif]-->non far dire allo scrittore quello che non dice;

<!--[if !supportLists]-->2.   <!--[endif]-->non esprimere una propria opinione;

<!--[if !supportLists]-->3.   <!--[endif]-->non utilizzare mai la prima o la terza persona;

<!--[if !supportLists]-->4.   <!--[endif]-->fare l'analisi denotativa;

<!--[if !supportLists]-->5.   <!--[endif]-->analisi strutturale del testo: come vengono dette le cose; le sequenze, quali sono le loro relazioni?

<!--[if !supportLists]-->6.   <!--[endif]-->Uso delle parole: word choice, word order, but what is the aim of the choice and of the order? Stylistic choices are important because these create effects in the reader (può muovere in noi una riflessione). The reader takes distance.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->7.   <!--[endif]-->Saper spiegare la reazione del lettore di fronte alla lettura;

<!--[if !supportLists]-->8.   <!--[endif]--> privilegiare lo stile nominale (uno stile che privilegia la condensazione del senso e la focalizzazione del lettore sul senso)

Argumentative text: it proposes a thesis that is a point of view and this idea requires for the writers the production of argumentation that support the writer’s idea.

An argumentation is a thought that  develops according to a logical thredt. It can also be made by comparison, by contrast, by association. It follows that/as a result/as a consequence, the letter you organize the logical development of your idea, the letter you can convince the reader of your point of view. In order to do this/in view of this objective you have to collect intelligent data, relevant information, significant figures and also paid utmost attention to the use of language. To do all this I need suitable connectors and linkers like: coming now to, in addition, what’s more, besides, differently from, in opposition to, viceversa, on one hand…, on the other, indeed, to tell the truth, in short, summing up, however, anyway.

Uso della forma impersonale: “you” oppure “one can think that…” (si può pensare che…)

To organize into= organizzare in

The argumentation should follow or be developed into paragraphs. Each paragraph should play a function, with should be connective to the previous or to the following paragraph.

To communicate to, to convey the idea, to highlight, to underline, to express, to hint at, to refer to, to tell about, to draw the reader’s attention on.

Il verbo “dire” può essere espresso con due verbi: 

<!--[if !supportLists]-->1.   <!--[endif]-->To say-said-said

<!--[if !supportLists]-->2.   <!--[endif]-->To tell-told-told

NB:Non sono intercambiabili.

<!--[if !supportLists]-->1.   <!--[endif]-->To say si usa:

<!--[if !supportLists]-->·         <!--[endif]-->Sempre nel discorso diretto;

<!--[if !supportLists]-->·         <!--[endif]-->Nel discorso indiretto quando non è espresso il complemento di termine (ex. He said he was going home);

<!--[if !supportLists]-->·         <!--[endif]-->In alcune espressioni idiomatiche (ex. to say hello, to say yes or no).

<!--[if !supportLists]-->2.   <!--[endif]-->To tell si usa:

<!--[if !supportLists]-->·         <!--[endif]-->Nel discorso indiretto quando è espresso il complement di termine (ex. he told me he was going home);

<!--[if !supportLists]-->·         <!--[endif]-->Espressioni idiomatiche (ex. to tell a story, to tell the truth, to tell lies to tell the time).
