TACTIC AND LOGICO-SEMANTIC RELATIONS TACTIC AND LOGICO-SEMANTIC RELATIONS Slide 2 THE EMPERORS NEW CLOTHES Slide 3 STEPS IN THE ANALYSIS o Segmenting the text into sentences (|||) and into clauses (||) within sentences or clause complexes; o Identifying and showing embedded clauses ([[ ]]). Embedded clauses are not analyzed in a clause complex analysis because they are elements within clauses, not clauses within a clause complex; o Assigning each clause complex a capital letter, displaying the clauses in a clause complex one below the other to facilitate analysis and assigning them a roman number; Slide 4 o Doing the analysis proper using numbers or greek letters to show parataxis and hypotaxis and the notational symbols for the different kinds of expansion or projection; o Identifying the specific kind of enhancement, idea or projection and naming it between parentheses Note: angled brackets ( >) are used in segmentation for clauses that interrupt or are included or interpolated in other clauses. Note: angled brackets ( >) are used in segmentation for clauses that interrupt or are included or interpolated in other clauses. Slide 5 SEGMENTING THE TEXT IN SENTENCES AND CLAUSES Once upon a time, there was an Emperor who loved to spend his money on expensive clothes. One day, two tailors arrived at his palace. They said they could make him the most beautiful suit, with magic cloth that only clever people could see. What a wonderful suit to have, thought the Emperor. Ill know immediately who is clever and who is stupid in my palace. The Emperor gave the tailors a lot of money and a room in the palace. He was very excited, but he was also worried. Oh dear, he thought, I hope I can see the magic cloth. He sent one of his ministers to look first.

Slide 8 SEGMENTING THE TEXT IN SENTENCES AND CLAUSES The minister went into the tailors room. Oh, no! I cant see anything, he thought unhappily. What can I say to the Emperor? Well? said one tailor. Do you like the suit? Oh, it is excellent!, he said. We are very pleased to hear that, said the tailors. The minister told the Emperor and the Emperor was delighted. He went to the tailors room with his minister. Look, said the minister. Arent the colours lovely?. Unfortunately, the poor Emperor couldnt see anything at all but he said Oh yes, the suit is wonderful, thank you.

Slide 11 SEGMENTING THE TEXT IN SENTENCES AND CLAUSES SEGMENTING THE TEXT IN SENTENCES AND CLAUSES Naturally, everybody wanted to see the suit, so the Emperor put on his new clothes II and went into the city with his ministers. All the people clapped and cheered loudly. The Emperor felt better. Then, suddenly, a little boy ran out. The Emperor isnt wearing any clothes! he shouted. Oh, its true! the people said. Hes as naked as the day he was born! The Emperor, who was so embarrassed, ran quickly back to the palace and called angrily for the tailors but they were gone.

Slide 29 TACTIC AND LS RELATIONS PRACTICE o He sent one of his ministers|| to look first. (The Non-finite clause is a dangling construction, because the Subject in it is not the same as the Subject in the main clause. This is the way it occurs in the story, though, and thats why its been kept that way. We can tell its a dependent clause of purpose and not a Qualifier because, apart from the fact that it is not qualifying/specifying minister, it can be replaced by in order for him to look first, which is clearly a clause of purpose) o The minister went into the tailors room.

(One could argue thatOh no! is a separate minor clause, as an exclamation sign functions graphically as a stop. Still here it has been analyzed as part of the idea projected by he thought unhappily, because it is included as part of the utterance between the inverted commas) o Oh, no! I cant see anything, || he thought unhappily. (One could argue that Oh no! is a separate minor clause, as an exclamation sign functions graphically as a stop.

Slide 45 TACTIC AND LS RELATIONS PRACTICE The analysis of the clause complex in the previous screen assumes that clauses 2 and 3 are more closely related with each other than they are separately to clause 1, as they are both consequences of the process expressed in clause 1.

IV = > IV = > (See comments on analysis in next screen) (See comments on analysis in next screen) Slide 52 TACTIC AND LS RELATIONS PRACTICE In the analysis of the clause complex in the previous screen the analysis has been tidied up a bit by displaying the dependent clause of elaboration as clause IV, although this clause interrupts or is included in clause I. This has been done to better show the closer relationship existing between clauses I, II and III in the analysis, that all relate hypotactically to clause IV ( to the dependent clause of elaboration.)
