Textual Meaning Interpretation
Thematic choices: Topical Themes:
Who, He, What,
Predicators:
feed
Textual themes:
No textual themes There are three topical themes found in the
dialogues. They are “who”, “he” and “what”. They are called topical because they occur in
initial position of every clause in the dialogue. “who “and “what” are seen as topical theme
because they conflate with different constituent: subject, complement or adjunct:
circumstantial. Thus, “who” and “what” are categorized as topical theme. The topical theme
“he” is really the subject that is discussed in the dialogue. There is only one predicator found in
the dialogue that is “feed”. It illustrates that there is only one action conducted by the
participant in the dialogue. In addition, there is no textual theme found in the dialogue.
2. Contextual Description of dialogue 2
Textual Meaning Interpretation
Role of language: Type of interaction:
Dialogue
Medium:
The type of the interaction between the two students is clearly a dialogue. It is categorized
to spoken language because it is a face to face conversation. The question sentence “Who’s
Spoken
Channel:
Phonic the man?”reflects language as action. It is
called phonic because it uses the sound system of language and the conversation done
spontaneously between peers. However, the declarative one such as “He is feeding his dog”
shows the action which is pointed out by the participant and it is conducted spontaneously.
So, it also reflects language as action.
