Feature of Schemata
Variables form the structure of Schemata.
Values assigned to the variables help us to guess at the values that are not present in the information.
Schemata can be embedded, or nested one within the other.
Schemata can represent levels of abstraction.Slide7
Feature of Schemata
Schemata represent broad aspect of knowledge , not just definitions.
Schemata are active processes
Schemata are such that they can be changed as a result of new or different experiences related to the existing schemata
Schemata are recognition devices the processing of which is aimed at the evaluation of their goodness of fit to the data being processed.Slide8

Schema Theory and Reading
The concept of the
schema theory
postulates that the spoken or written text
does not in itself carry meaning
. Instead the
meaning is created
by using
previously acquired knowledge
.Slide11
Script Knowledge
Refers to mundane everyday information stored in memory. It is derived from
repeated experiences
with people, events, places and situation in day-to-day living
A
powerful resource for understanding text, especially
narrative materials
.Slide12
Knowledge about language
Types of Linguistic information or knowledge:
Graphophonic
,
Syntactic
and
Simantic
.
Pragmatic system
refers to the ways in which we use language to express and understand meanings relates to how language is used in social settings. Slide13
Knowledge about language
Language cannot exist outside the context.
Knowledge
of text structure
Text structure refers to the aspects of texts that signal how the content is related.Slide14
Text Cohesion
The presence of structures that signal referential relationships among the sentences and lead to the integration of meaning within the entire text.
Helen felt something rub against her leg. She reached down and felt soft fur. The furry thing had a thumping heart and seemed to vibrate as Helen stroke it. It was
polly
.Slide15
Text structures in narration and exposition
Narration
refers to text written to involve the reader in a series of images, events dialogue, or a combination of these, in order to entertain readers to get them imagine.Slide16
Text structures in narration and exposition
Exposition
relies on the relationship of
superordinate
and subordinate topics, major and minor ideas, and pattern of argument or reference.Slide17
Evaluation the goof-of-fit of Schemata
As we read text,
clues from the story
suggest
possible interpretations
that are then
evaluated against the successive sentences
of the story until finally a
consistent interpretation
is discovered.Slide18
