What are the aspects of text analysis in elementary school language

1, semiotic analysis

Semiotics is actually a fairly broad concept, I only refer to the most classic and most commonly used method of semiotic analysis, that is, the method of Greimas, mainly including matrix analysis and actor analysis. Of course, Roland Barthes, Todorov and others have many other methods, but the principle is basically the same. The so-called "structuralist" methods of analysis are basically these methods.

2. Narratological analysis

The main analysis is story analysis (including story sequence analysis, story type analysis, etc.), and narrative perspective analysis (including the narrator's persona, position, credibility; the narrator's voice, the speed of narration, etc.). Of course, narratology also pays attention to the character's discourse analysis, to see whether what he says is direct or indirect quotation, or free indirect quotation.

Because narratology and semiotics are based on linguistics, analyzing a novel is like analyzing a sentence, where the character is equivalent to the subject, the character's actions are equivalent to the predicate, and the character's qualities are equivalent to the determiner or the gerund.

3. Deconstructionist method

The method of deconstructionism is represented by the Frenchman Derrida and the American de Man. One of the basic principles of deconstructionism is to enter from the edge of the text, thus subverting away the usual meaning of the whole text. As the saying goes, a dike of a thousand miles breaks down in an anthill, and the deconstructionist is like the big ant that subverts the dike of a thousand miles.

4, intertextual, dialogical theory analysis

This method originated with Bakhtin and matured in Todorov, Kristeva, Genette and so on. Structuralism has always regarded the text as a relatively closed system, thus ignoring the factors of reality and society, and traditional criticism and only see the society ignored the text, each has its own disadvantages.

The emergence of intertextual and dialogical theories solved this problem well, because the text and the real society are regarded as intertextual and dialogical relations, so the factors of society and the rules of the text are analyzed.
