Textual analysis means to analyse the interrelationship of form and content.

Oral and written level = level of sound and other levels:

  • Phonological level = level of sound;

  • Semantical level = word choice, semantic domains, use of verbs (active, passive, aspects), tone of language;

  • Syntactical level = words order, punctuation;

  • Rethorical level = figures of speech (metaphores, synedoch, methonymy, hiperbole, litote...).

In the end the reader has to be able to explain how the choices made in the previous levels make up meaning.
