Equating, Contrasting, Enumerating and Exemplifying
Lesley E Jeffries · Palgrave Macmillan UK eBooks · 2007
This chapter introduces some forms of analysis that are not the usual tools of analysis in CDA, but are analogous to the regular apparatus in that they appear to construct meaning textually, and have a particular, repeated semantic process that operates on the basis of a range of textual triggers. The semantic relations that are being constructed textually are those which relate to similarity and difference of meaning (equating and contrasting), and those which produce examples of a general case either by enumerating all the different variants or by using one or more examples. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
