- Does the text belong to a specific semantic field?
- How does the lexis impact on the interaction taking place?
- Is the lexis used to codify or exclude?
- Syntax
- Is the syntax paratactic (simple and compound sentences?)
- Is the syntax hypotactic (complex sentences & heavily modified subjects / objects)?
- Is there heavy parenthesis (information included for the purpose of adding information)?
- Does the text rely on anaphora / cataphora?
- Grammar
- What types of nouns are used in the text?
- What other types of verbs are used in the text?
- What effect does it have on the reader?
- What impression do they create about the actions and behaviours of the writer?
- How does this impact the tone of the text?
- Pragmatics
- How do people in positions of power use language to coerce their subordinates into agreeing with them?
- How do organisations use language to obtain the consent of consumers - whether it is in terms of purchasing products, or paying higher gas bills
