Look at your phone and find the most recent text message you
received. How is this utterance
part of a larger chain? How do distant and nearby
discourses give it meaning? How about already-spoken
and not-yet-spoken discourses?
Look at your phone and find the most recent text message you received.
The most recent text message I received is from my brother who is pusuing Ph.D in Chemical Engineering.
How is this utterance part of a larger chain?
This utterance part is very concise with few lines where my brother expressed idea about one of the chemicals he is observing in the laboratory.
How do distant and nearby discourses give it meaning?
These discourses give the meaning to this text message by relating the use of this particular chemical and conveying its impact on agricultural crops production.
How about already-spoken and not-yet-spoken discourses?
The already spoken discourse is based on scientific findings in the laboratory, my brother's view on its importance, his further inclination to validate the results in another scenario etc.
For not spoken discourses, I believe in my brother abilities that soon he will publish an article on this in a scientific journal.
