Isi artikel

The present article refers to a contribution to ELT Journal Vol. 35.3 (pp.328-33) by H. Sopher, entitled 'Discourse analysis as an aid to literary interpretation'. The present author, while agreeing with Sopher's interpretation of the story analysed, argues that such an interpretation is more clearly supported by a surface structure analysis. The present author demonstrates that a macro-structure analysis was not shown to be as 'objective' as Sopher claimed. The text (reprinted with Sopher's analysis on pp.122-3) is then analysed from the point of view of anaphoric and exophoric use of pronouns, transitivity structure, exchange structure in question-and-answer patterning, etc. This, the present author suggests, as well as providing a more objective reading of the story, is also more accessible as a guide to the nature of 'text' and to the teaching of reading and writing.
