Sample text
One goal of critical reading pedagogy is to offer means of raising these more hidden elements to greater consciousness or kinds of noticing. Halliday (1987: 143) gives his own example to illustrate the process, which I quote in full here. I selected a text – the headline of a news broadcast, which I had taken down verbatim from the radio; I read it aloud to a group of students and asked them to recall it. They gave me the motifs: death, disaster, violence and the like. I pressed them further: what was actually said?
By adverbs or prepositional phrases? CAUSATION How is causation attributed? e. Who did what to whom? Are actors in subject position? EFFECT OF THE WRITER’S CHOICES? TENOR OF DISCOURSE INTERPERSONAL MEANINGS (how the writer indicates his/her relationship with the reader and what his/her attitude to the subject matter of the text is) PERSON What personal pronouns are selected? How does the writer refer to self, subjects and reader? MOOD What mood is most frequently selected – declarative, imperative or interrogative?
Thus, certain genres such as advertisements will fairly consistently show a greater incidence of personal pronouns or strongly connotated vocabulary than genres, such as, for instance, arguments of various kinds, whose significant ideological effects will be observable only at clause level. It is one of the major principles of the genre school, informed by Hallidayan grammar, that certain text types will be typified and indeed made socioculturally recognisable by characteristic sets of linguistic features.
