Task I. Theoretical question. (5 points)

What are the similarities and differences between Written and Spoken Discourse?

There are several differences between spoken and written discourse, such as written discourse is permanent. It means that it is written and time or condition doesn’t matter to read it. But spoken discourse is temporary and it doesn’t last for a long.

Another difference is that written discourse is written in a way that is clear and direct. And it understandable for everyone. On the other hand, in the speech, situation and knowledge, awareness are taken into consideration, and so sometimes it could be implicit.

Besides, the content follows some structures, using standard language and so it has accuracy, density; however, speech could consist of inaccuracy, repeated words, pauses, some fillers, self-corrections and others.

Writing discourse demands high knowledge in that language, but the spoken is less difficult than it

In addition to that spoken discourse is longer that written discourse. Because every typical person speaks more that he or she writes.



TASK II. Find the genre/feature of the dialogue and write rhetorical devices in it. (5 points)

Shop assistant: These are nice boots, don't you think? Will you try them on? How do they feel?

Helen: I think they're a size too big. Perhaps you can find a different pair. Can you give me a size smaller?

Shop assistant: Just a moment, I'll have another look. You're lucky. Here's a lovely pair, but it's more expensive.

Helen: That doesn't matter. It feels more comfortable. I think I'll take it. How much is it?
