About this Unit
In 2008 this unit replaced by 101453 - Text and Discourse in English. This is the last of a four-unit sequence intended mainly for prospective language professionals that would also be of interest as an elective for humanities students. The sequence gives students a background knowledge of English Linguistics and introduces linguistic issues at the text level, focussing on questions of genre and discourse.
