Lang Analysis screw up!

[simran93]

Am I the only person who referred to the people in the LA as "Readers" instead of "audience"?
P.s I did ESL, would that impact profoundly on my marks?

I did the same thing. Although, I made more of a referecne to them as readers of the transcript.
But since it is a transcript I guess you could say readers since people do read transcripts.

if you'd done that wrong, but done a good essay, i doubt it would impact your mark much at all. after all, examiners aren't the devil (well...aren't completely horrendous all the time anyway)
so if for example your whole lang analysis was 10 worthy and amazing but you referred to the people as readers i doubt they'd bump you at all (maybe. if anything 1 mark)
however, if you for instance didn't talk about effect on the audience (lawl almost wrote reader) you'd lose a sheitload more marks.
this is just my opinion
don't stress about minimal things like that

I think I did ok, but I just realised that I didn't mention the title, Taking Stock, at all. Hope that doesn't impact me. I don't think it was a persuasive technique at all, but I should have at least said 'in a speech entitled ...'

I doubt they would immediately dock you a specific number of marks for it, but I imagine it would make the essay appear formulaic and memorised. On a related note, how did you refer to the image? I was stumped on how to introduce the image because of it being a speech - I ended up saying that the speech was accompanied by an image but I'm sure there would be a better way. Perhaps saying Lee used an image as a backdrop or something?

[simran93]

Ok cool thanks! Well i said something like "the image of the planet earth sitting on the palm of a human hand represents unity and challenges the readers that they should indeed "take action" if they want to save the fragile planet from destruction." something like that cant rememeber exactly

[Pumpkinator]

Lol, that was annoying , had to keep crossing out readers, then putting listeners or audience members -,-

Nothing compared to me forgetting to mention the contention or analyze the goddamn visuals -_____-

Gah :|

[Spreadbury]

ok so I didn't know there was background information on the article... is this a problem?

[Transcendent]

Yeah i referred to the audience as 'readers' >_< but i referred to the piece as a transcript so i hope i don't get marked too harsly for it.
And i also said that target audience was simply 'an adult audience' rather than environmental conservationists or something. Am i gonna lose a mark here too?

I'm just gonna post an excerpt from the legendary lynt.br's crash course in LA.

You often see people after a SAC or exam discussing "Did you get X technique? I missed Y technique". This is the wrong approach to language analysis.

In short, you did not automatically lose 1 mark cos you missed out on 1 thing. CHIN UP YOZ!

I'm pretty sure not mentioning the guys name is an additional mark gone.

I did get both pictures though.

i didnt see the author of the article until the end becuase it was in such a weird place (i.e. not at the beginning of the article) do you reckon i will loose marks if i kept referring to them as 'the writer'?

[werdna]

I hate you Chris Lee.

[will.ryan]

Did anyone refer to Professor Chris Lee as the 'vocalist'? i consistently used 'audience' throughout my analysis cause couldnt be stuffed to think of anything else, hahaha, i used repetition you could say, shoot me now!
