How are you Miss Syida? May Allah bless you and hopefully you are in a good health condition. In this entry, I will summarize the topic on what I have learned.
In this topic, the writer approach is to develop the linguistic tools readers need to enable them to recognize certain global or key elements of a text. These elements have technical names such as genre, field, tenor, mode, and ideology. The writer aims is to discover elements of the language so as to dig out the ideology that exist, as it were behind the text. He argues that even a text that seems innocently devoid of ideology may in fact be shown to be highly ideological. His sample texts are passages from school textbooks used by students doing junior secondary commerce course.
Reading 3.4 Speech and Speakers: the formation of individuals in discourse and genre.
What I have understood in this particular topic is about giving a positioning in individuals, group and so on. This way in illustrate the reader into particular position through text and it is the value systems in certain norms and modes of behaviors.
The writer of this text illustrate the language use and its ability to reflects and how it have shaped us as people, including our understanding of who we are, and our attitudes to other people and the world in generally. The writer use the article from the Cleo magazine to illustrated the idea of the formation that how the language described people like example Miss Seductress that described as the insecurity women while in contrast the Miss Winner as independent women. One function of text of this kind of recruit’s new readers to a reading position. Give description of who we are and people around us from the language of the text and. The article also can be feminist discourse so that women know where there are at and this text are promote that women can be used as the object by men.
This kind of writing is related to critical literacy on the positioning area. Where the language is giving role to the people, it constructs the participants in the text. The perspective toward the type of people portraits through the writing and language use.
