«This workbook aims at examining and practicing different writing techniques working on different text-types which mostly appear here in the form of articles, letters and brochures. Prior to the proper use of a writing technique, it is important both to recognize the purpose of the source text and to clarify the predominant function that the text vehicles.

This workbook aims at examining and practicing different writing techniques working on different text-types which mostly appear here in the form of articles, letters and brochures.
Prior to the proper use of a writing technique, it is important both to recognize the purpose of the source text and to clarify the predominant function that the text vehicles. With regard to this, a complex but practical analysis is provided by Jakobson’s model of communication, which explains communication by means of six factors and related communicative functions.
As the scheme illustrates, when a text is produced or a speech act is performed, a message referring to a context [situation or event] passes from an addresser [the author] to an addressee, by means of code [a (language) system] which is transmitted through a contact or channel of communication. Even though each component is necessary, they are hardly active simultaneously and equally relevant in an act of communication, thus the predominant factor can be discerned and a hierarchy of functions can be ranked.
The analysis of the predominant factor (and consequently of the predominant communicative function) in a text is useful to distinguish among text-types (or ‘discourse genres’):
1– texts focusedon the author’s feelings, such as “creative literary texts, autobiographies, speeches, author’s prefaces and personal correspondence”[2], stress the emotive or expressive function;
2– in reader-centred texts, such as “advertising, propaganda, official recommendations”[3], the conative or directive function
