Text As Connected Discourse

Discourse refers to language longer than a single sentence and how conversations flow. It focuses on how sentences are connected to carry more meaning and is a source of information about people's experiences. A text conveys intended meaning through signs, symbols, and grammar. The relationship between a discourse and text is that a discourse can be spoken, written, visual or audial, considers what is said and how, and the context and audience, while a text is meant to convey information through a cohesive structure.

In linguistics, discourse refers to a unit of lang
uage longer than a single sentence. The word
discourse is derived from the latin prefix dis-
meaning "away" and the root word currere
meaning "to run". Discourse, therefore,
translates to "run away" and refers to the
way that conversations flow.
