10. What does semantics - discourse analysis do? It takes the tools of grammarians to identify the role of wording in texts . It employs the tools of social theorists to explain why they make the meanings they do. Semantic discourse is the interface between grammar and context .

11. It’s all in the GENRE Different types of text enact different social activity in different social contexts . Genres display consistent patterns of meaning as speakers interact in different social situations .

12. The consistency of patterns makes it easier to predict how each situation is going to unfold, thus how speakers are expected to interact.

13. Examples of genre : service encounters casual conversations telephone enquieries instructions lectures plays jokes debates, etc
