    (University of the Western Cape, 2005) Oostendorp, Marcelyn Camereldia Antonette; Anthonissen, Christine; Banda, Felix; Dept. of Linguistics, Language and Communication; Faculty of Arts
    This research aimed to give an account of the development of concepts of text and discourse and the various approaches to analysis of texts and discourses, as this is reflected in core linguistic literature since the late 1960s. The idea was to focus specifically on literature that notes the development stimulated by a proliferation of electronic media. Secondly, this research aimed to describe the nature of electronic news texts found on the internet in comparison to an equivalent printed version, namely texts printed in newspapers and simultaneously on the newspaper website.
