Analyzing Non-Fictional Articles: Purpose and Structure

This page introduces the fundamental aspects of analyzing non-fictional articles, particularly focusing on newspaper and online articles. It outlines the primary purposes authors have when writing such pieces and delves into the structural elements commonly found in these texts.

The main purposes of non-fictional articles are identified as:

  1. Informing the reader or raising awareness about a problem, trend, or phenomenon
  2. Convincing readers of an opinion or worldview
  3. Moving the reader, government, or society towards action

The page then provides a comprehensive list of typical structural elements found in non-fictional articles, including introduction, definition of key concepts, thesis statement, opposing views, refutation of counterarguments, historical background, explanations, arguments with evidence, and conclusion.

Highlight: Understanding the purpose and structure of a non-fictional text is crucial for effective analysis and comprehension.

Example: An article about climate change might start with a shocking statistic (introduction), define key terms like "greenhouse gases," present the author's thesis on the urgency of action, address common counterarguments, and conclude with a call for specific policy changes.

Vocabulary: Refutation - The act of proving a statement or theory to be wrong or false.

Communicative Strategies and Language Use in Non-Fictional Texts

This section delves into the various communicative strategies and language techniques employed by authors in non-fictional texts. These strategies are essential for creating persuasive and engaging content that resonates with readers.

The page outlines several key strategies, including:

  1. Use of inclusive language and personal pronouns to establish a connection with the reader
  2. Direct address to raise awareness and challenge the reader
  3. Providing specific and current examples to illustrate points
  4. Sharing personal anecdotes to create emotional connections
  5. Appealing to authority by citing experts or influential figures
  6. Using quotes to support arguments or add humor
  7. Citing statistics and evidence to enhance credibility
  8. Providing background information to contextualize complex topics
  9. Using details strategically to convey specific connotations
  10. Raising questions (both genuine and rhetorical) to engage the reader
  11. Using provocative titles to create suspense
  12. Making generalizations to simplify complex issues
  13. Offering multiple viewpoints to appear balanced

Example: In a persuasive nonfiction article about renewable energy, the author might use inclusive language like "We must act now" to create a sense of shared responsibility, cite statistics on carbon emissions to support their argument, and include quotes from climate scientists to appeal to authority.

Highlight: Understanding these persuasive techniques is crucial for both analyzing and creating effective non-fictional texts.

Definition: Rhetorical question - A question asked to make a point rather than to elicit an answer, suggesting that the answer is self-evident.

The page also provides helpful language for outlining the structure of an article, such as "The author starts off with..." or "concludes by suggesting...". This guidance is particularly useful for students learning how to write a summary of a fictional text or conducting a line of argument analysis.

Purpose and Impact of Communicative Strategies

This page elaborates on the purposes and impacts of the communicative strategies discussed earlier. It explains how these techniques are employed to achieve specific goals in non-fictional writing.

The main purposes of using these strategies include:

  1. Enhancing the credibility and persuasiveness of the article
  2. Making the content more understandable and relatable to the reader
  3. Evoking emotional responses such as shock, surprise, or amusement
  4. Increasing the impact of the main point
  5. Capturing and maintaining the reader's interest
  6. Creating a conversational style

Highlight: The effective use of communicative strategies can significantly enhance the impact and persuasiveness of a non-fictional text.

Example: An article using the appeal to hip-pocket nerve persuasive technique might include specific examples of how a policy change could save readers money, making the argument more relatable and compelling.

Vocabulary: Conversational style - A writing approach that mimics the flow and informality of spoken language to engage readers more personally.

This section emphasizes the importance of understanding these strategies not only for analysis but also for effective writing. It's particularly useful for students learning how to analyse the structure of a non fiction text or studying persuasive writing techniques.

The page concludes by noting that many articles start with a specific example or event before presenting the problem on a more general level, highlighting the importance of structure in non-fictional writing.
