Introductions
Language Analysis introductions can be tricky to write as they are unlike text response essay introductions. There are a number of different ways of writing an introduction, but there is some key information that must be included in all Language Analysis introductions:
- Who? (who wrote it?)
- What? (what format is it?)
- When? (the date of publication)
- Where? (the place of publication)
- Tone
- Contention
You should also try to include what the overall issue is and who the target audience for the piece is. Note that a lot of this information, particularly the specifics of publication, is generally stated in the background information that prefaces the piece.
