A Text analysis of a newspaper article about Konglish taken from ‘The Korea Herald’
1.0. Introduction Although the emphasis of English classes in most countries has gradually shifted away from teaching written English to conversational English, many Korean students still use English mainly as a ‘library language’. As a result, developing students’ reading skills still remains a priority and, consequently, so does understanding how written language is organized in English. Recently, an increasing amount of attention has been given to the study of Written Discourse, or “how we string sentences together,” (Brown 1994: 362) which has revealed the necessity of describing written language not as an abstract, sentence-level phenomenon with neat grammatical descriptions, but as a meaningful and functional whole made up of interrelated pieces constructed for interactive purposes with an active reader. Since the 1960’s, several descriptions of written language at the level of discourse have also emphasized the importance of context and social action in approaching texts. Yet an insufficient amount of teaching is dedicated to textual patterns, both in textbooks and in classrooms. The aim of this paper is to describe the role of discourse in the written English language through a text analysis of a newspaper article. The first part will review the importance of the main textual patterns and their signaling in English; the second part will offer a diagrammatic representation of the newspaper article to analyze and comment on its textual patterns, while the third part will examine the implications for language teaching and testing
1.1. The Importance of Discourse: Textual Patterns in English As Bachman (1990: 87) points out, ‘organizational’ competence in writing does not only include ‘grammatical’ competence, but also ‘textual’ competence (rhetorical organization and coherence). Indeed, just as studies on spoken discourse have described the structures of various types of oral exchanges, the growing field of written discourse analysis has described the main frames commonly used by writers in English. Working at the supra-sentential level is essential because “discourse requirements partially determine the general order of major information blocks within the sentence.” (Rutherford 1987: 73) Discourse analysts thus have identified the main types of texts, or genres:
A genre is a means of achieving a communicative goal that has evolved in response to particular rhetorical needs, and (…) a genre will change and evolve in response to changes in those needs. (Dudley-Evans in Coulthard 1994: 219)
Since writers use various moves to develop their argument, the typical organizational patterns and signaling within each genre were recognized. As Nunan (1991: 73) explains,
one of the claims of genre theory is that language exists to fulfill certain functions and that these functions will largely determine the structure of the text and the language it contains.
These frameworks and signaling devices will be used in this paper for the analysis of the newspaper article.
