| 19 | Objective of the Course: | The written texts are used as a primary unit (primary means)for interpersonal communication. The objectives of this class are teaching students about the stages and processes of creating a text, its criteria, communication system and rethorics. For this purpose, the primary unit and concepts of text linguistics (sentence, clause, utterance, text and textual criteria, the producer-and recipient(receiver) oriented) will be taught. Next to this, text-types and its classification, spoken and written narrative discourse, language transfer and topics such as speech act theory will be covered in the class. Another objective of this class is teaching students about the verbal context language analysis as a fundamental unit of the observed text concept. Also, the objective of this class has two main purposes. First aim, to teach from the view point of a text-producer and all the features that appear during the process. Second aim, focuses on teaching the mental processes that happen during the text-production period and also the studies and works that are going to be carried out in this field.This class will also make students aware of how producing texts can model the human mind(consciousness). With the deep comprehension that will be made on created texts,students will observe how text-production gives pathways for reproducing new texts, and how this arranges the production of natural language texts. |
