However, in the Stylistics part of the paper, there are some extra things you may wish to do. Discourse types You cannot possibly foresee what particular texts will be used, but you should have some kind of understanding of different types of discourse, and the conventions which go with these. For a given type of discourse, try to identify the purposes of the author. Be aware of both intended meaning, and assumptions revealed in language forms, of which the author may be unaware. Use the separate guide you have received for working on such texts.
Literary texts Expect at least one question to use one or more literary texts.
You are not required to comment on the content of the data, but on language features. Suggestions for improvement are welcome.
