Language of discourse |
Discourse requires that children produce several utterances to build particular linguistic structures such as narratives, factual accounts, arguments, explanations or combinations of these. This requires that children go beyond the basic sentence and combine sentences to build accounts which are coherent in terms of organisation of meaning and content, and cohesive in terms of continuity between sentences. The language of discourse requires that children have the sophisticated and genre-specific vocabulary and the grammatical knowledge to formulate sentences for the particular topic under discussion. |

Teanga dioscúrsa |
I ndioscúrsa teastaíonn méid áirithe ráite ón bpáiste chun struchtúir theangeolaíocha a chruthú, struchtúir ar nós insintí, cuntais fhíriciúla, argóintí, mínithe nó dhá cheann nó níos mó díobh sin in éineacht. Chuige sin caithfidh an páiste dul níos faide ná an abairt bhunúsach agus abairtí a chur le chéile chun cuntas a thabhairt, cuntas a bheidh sothuigthe ó thaobh eagar na céille agus comhtháite ó thaobh an leanúnachais idir abairtí. Chun dul i mbun dioscúrsa, teastaíonn foclóir a bhaineann le réimse ar leith agus atá inniúil ar an ábhar mar aon leis an eolas gramadaí is gá chun abairtí a chumadh mar gheall ar an ábhar i dtrácht.

Teanga gan chomhthéacs |
Tugtar sainmhíniú ar an teanga gan chomhthéacs mar theanga atá saor ó chomhthéacs. Níl sí bunaithe in aon chomhthéacs láithreach ama ná cúinse, agus níl sí spleách ar aon bhreathnú ná ar aon eispéireas siceach, láithreach. Tá úsáid na teanga gan chomhthéacs ríthábhachtach d’fhoghlaim páistí ar leibhéil éagsúla. Baintear úsáid aisti chun faisnéis nua a chruthú agus a chur in iúl do dhaoine eile nach bhfuil an fhaisnéis chúlra chéanna acu leis an gcainteoir. Tá na téarmaí ‘teanga gan chomhthéacs’ agus ‘stíl teanga liteartha’ cosúil lena chéile toisc go dtagraíonn siad araon do theanga atá eagraithe, follasach agus scoite amach.
