How to w. a text analysis | Text types & composition

 

Bei der Analyse eines Textes gibt es klare Richtlinien, an die sich zu halten sind.
Hier bekommt ihr eine Überblick darüber.

Text types


descriptive text: makes statement(s) about the physical and outer appearance of people, things and situations and/or their spatial arrangement. A description can be either a neutral observation or a more personal and subjective one.
narrative text: makes statement(s) about the action that takes place in a text. These actions and events constitute the plot.
expository text: sets out to relate concepts, ideas, or opinions in a step-by-step or analytical fashion. This text can be either neutral or subjective.
argumentative text:
(with pro and cons)
discusses a number of conflicting standpoints in an attempt to evaluate the relationship between these different ideas. This evaluation takes the form of a conclusion.
instructive text: aims to give systematic directions on usage, action, or behaviour.
non-fictunal text  
informative text  
a text for general interests  
subjective text  
   
Several text types may be found within one text; however, one text type will normally predominate, the choice depending largely on the intention of a particular text form such as information, manipulation, imagination.
