Discourse analysis

According to Émile Benveniste, every discourse has:

• a speaker who informs the receiver

• a hearer who listen to the radio

• a speaker who influences the hearer

• political goals

Following Benvenite we could say that

• discourses are everything a politican says

• discourses are important

• discourse is language un action

• when we use language we produce discourse

The enunciator is:

• a human being

• the perspective of the human being

• the perspective of the text

• a position constructed through language

The co-enunciator is:

• the one who receives the message

• the one imagined by the enunciator to read that text

• the ideal receiver of the text

• the one who reads the text

Enunciation is the process by which the subject uses languages to

• constitute himself as enunciator and a co-enunciator

• to create discourse

• to create a voice in the text

• none of them are correct

Objectivity is when

• the author shares facts

• the author is disguised from the text

• the author has a neutral position

• the author seems erased from the text

When the author appears in the text evaluating the exposed information, the text is

(a)  

Both subjective and objective texts are effects of meaning because:

• every text involves subjectivity

• every text constructs an enunciator and a treatment of the topic

• every text is neutral

• they are not such thing

The perspective of the text is objective or subjective depending on:

• the referent

• the subject

• the purpose and the communicative situation

• the subject and the referent

Subjectivity markers reveal the subject position in the text

• True

• False

• Not sure
