Discourse Analysis On Announcements

Administrative Official Document is one of the most important means of carrying out administrations of our nation, in which Notice is one of the supremely frequent and the most popular styles. With its strong functionality, Notice has become more important in exploring the AOD(Administrative Official Document). The AOD was explored by applying such theories as writingology and articleology, resulting in the ubiquity phenomena of Compositional Format plus Samples for a long time. This thesis, applying the achievement of textural linguistic and being under the guidance of the theory of discourse analysis, makes analysis and research of the Notice's discourse. And its production not only provides the practical theory for the studying field of AOD, but the new development of applied studying in discourse analysis. Under the guidance of the theory and method of discourse analysis, this thesis explores the textual pattern of Notice, the textural thematic structure, as well as the operating mechanism of information structure.This thesis is divided into five chapters. The first chapter is introduction; I reviewed the history of discourse analysis theory and the development of discourse cohesion and coherence theory and point out the purpose of my research. The second chapter studies the strategy and pattern of Notice. The third chapter studies the discourse cohesion and coherence theory. The fourth chapter studies the thematic structure and information structure of Notice. The fifth chapter is a conclusion to this thesis. The research shows that, "notice" as a most frequent used administrative document style, the discourse comes into being is due to its administrative function. To achieve this purpose, Notice chooses the special discourse strategy and pattern .e.g. problem-resolve pattern, general-individual pattern, propose-protest pattern and so forth in the process of the discourse comes into being. And to make the patterns above, there are many different information structures. It is just because of these measures that the function of Notice realised.
