1. Introduction
The first lecture was an overview of the course and its content. Mr. Gibbon started to talk about text, what a text is and how it is build up.
2. Learner's Diary
Texts are signs
A text has different types of properties, an appearance (spelling), a formulation (structure) and a meaning. So texts are signs.
Properties of a text
The world of the mind refers to the individual, and its organising of texts. Everyone organises a the text structure by themselves. In contrast to this stands the shared world it is basically about communication. Accordingly, that thing that everyone shares. So for example the medium i. e. a dictionary is shared by everyone and everyone has to have at least a similar idea of the a thing like a chair.
3. Tasks and Quizzes
Why is a portfolio important?
A portfolio can help to understand the weekly lessons and to have an easier access to in the internet. For other students a portfolio makes it possible to share information with the writer. In addition to this the writer gets to know important skills of modern media. It is important to reflect the lessons again afterwards.
What should a portfolio contain and how are these components defined?
A portfolio should contain a summary of the lecture, this is called a learner’s diary, where the main topics of the lecture are described and evaluated. Additionally, it should include a glossary to explain technical terms of every lecture and the answers which been given.
Why should a portfolio be on a website?
With a portfolio you can exchange information with other students and lecturers are able to observe your learning development. So this is the easiest way of access at any time.
How do you make a website?
You can create a website by uploading an html document onto an online server on the internet or you can go to the "hers" and upload your files there. This html document needs to have a certain form, otherwise it does not work
What is text linguistics?
Generally linguists deals mostly with words and sentences, not necessarily with their role and meaning in texts. So, text linguistics is probably about how several words and sentences form a homogeneous text and how words and texts are related to each other.
What is a website?
A website is an online document which is available for everybody who is connected to the internet. There are also embedded and linked document objects.
What is a hypertext? Give examples!
A hypertext is a text which is connected, mostly electronically, to other texts. It can be any document in the world wide web. For example Google is a search engine, which is linked to millions of web sides and consequently contains as much hypertexts.
What is a text ? What are its main properties?
A text is an collection of words which makes sense or not, when read in order. Texts are signs. The main properties of a text are:
- Appearance (what kind of material)
- Meaning (interpretation)
- Structure (headlines, chapters, title)
How do these properties relate to the mind/ to the world?
It is related to the world because everybody who can read recognize the appearance and the content of a text and its properties. They are related to the authors world by the ideas of the author which are produced in his mind.
