Style And Ideology

Essay 

 We have seen that the style of a text is affective buy? The speaker or writer is trying to do in writing or speaking (the genre), buy who is being addressed and in what tone (tenor ) and buy the medium. Now we look at the effect of ideology, the wider conception of life and values which seems ‘natural’ to the speaker or writer. Sometimes this relation is clear enough, as when a woman calls herself Ms, when the head of a meeting is called chair, or when someone says terrorist rather than freedom freedom fighter referring to the same person. Even if thought or as dictionary and entries, these particular terns tend to suggest not only a contest but wider ideological positions in relation to it. They have as it were on ideological. Other words like this are exploitation and law and order, which seem to belong with left and right positions respectively if cited on their own. Exploitation in associated with ruling-class control of the people in what is taken to be on unjust way. Law and order is associated with same power relation seen now as in need of protection or strengthening. Exploitation takes on a challenging upholding of decent peoples values. There are other ideologically words which are common in both left and right text, but which mean different things in is. On these is freedom. When Thatcher migrates says she is thinking in a particular way, but this is not explicit. We have an idea what she means because we have heard and read other texts myher, and people has speaking from a similar idlogical position. Finally dialogically also often a matter of grammar. That is of the role of the function words which occur in all text. They expect of style other related subject, words, things, and ideas etc.
