Description

This chapter focuses mainly on analyzing the written language through perspectives that allow us to understand why language is the way it is because of the context for which it has been produced. Therefore, in order to focus on language in written modes, the chapter analyzes methods of text and discourse analysis, which help explain language in its context of use.
