SITUATIONALITY AND INTERTEXTUALITY IN FOOD ENGINEERING DISCOURSE
SITUATIONALITY AND INTERTEXTUALITY IN FOOD ENGINEERING DISCOURSE

Summary/Abstract: Taking into consideration the importance of textual analysis in terms of text comprehension, the present study makes appeal to De Beaugrande and Dressler’s approach of textual standards in order to emphasize how they shape discourse structures and practices in food engineering texts. Therefore, this paper aims to carry out a corpus-based analysis of different types of food engineering texts: specialized, didactic and popularization ones. As both situationality and intertextuality are socially oriented towards a communication context, more exactly concerning the factors which make a text relevant to a situation of occurrence, these two textual standards are brought into discussion together, according to the previously mentioned approach.
