The
Professional Document Analysis helps you to explore a professional
community of your choice. In this assignment, you will analyze genres
valued by that community.
Use our course readings, discussions, resources garnered previous assignments (e.g. professional e-mail, data collection) to inform your analysis.
- identify a kind of document that is important to your community.
- analyze one text important to your professional community.
- evaluate the meaning, intended audience, and intended outcome of the document.
Avoid summarizing your chosen document, but explain how the document contributes to and functions within a professional community. Discuss how the document conveys a particular message for the professional discourse community.
Consider the following questions about your chosen document as you write your essay:
- What is the purpose of the document for the professional discourse community?
- What message does the document convey for the professional discourse community? Who is the target audience of this document?
- What themes or patterns emerge between the analyzed document and characteristics/function of the professional discourse community?
- Ultimately, consider the big picture: What is the
author’s purpose and how does the author (writer, speaker, builder,
etc.), attempt to achieve that purpose – How does the writer use rhetorical appeals to relay the message within the discussed document?
