English Structure Analysis: Key Components and Techniques

This page introduces the fundamental aspects of conducting an Englisch Analyse (English analysis). It emphasizes the differences between English and German analysis techniques, providing a framework for students to approach text analysis systematically.

The guide begins by highlighting that unlike in German, English analysis does not require a summary. Instead, it focuses on other critical elements. The page outlines several key questions students should consider when analyzing a text:

1. What is the text about?
2. Who wrote the article, and when and where was it written?
3. What order or structure does the text follow?
4. What stylistic devices can be found in the article?

These questions form the foundation for a comprehensive Englisch Analyse Aufbau (English analysis structure).

The page also introduces various types of text orders that students might encounter:

• Chronological order: Text structured according to a timeline
• Topical order: Text organized by different themes, often with subheadings
• Cause and effect: Structure based on relationships between events or things
• Problem and Solution: Text organized around questions and their answers
• Advantage and Disadvantage: Structure comparing positive and negative aspects of an issue

Highlight: Understanding the text's order is crucial for effective analysis, as it provides insight into the author's thought process and argumentative structure.

Example: A text discussing climate change might use a cause-and-effect order to explain how human activities lead to global warming and its consequences.
