Textbooks as Discourse

Summary/Abstract: The didactic discourse is the result of the coexistence of several didactic discourses (specialised, scientific, literary, and popularising) and expresses its didacticism through its pedagogical dimension. The textbook is another type of didactic discourse, a text - discourse where all the discursive-textual types are met: narration, description, dialogue, conversation, predictive, injunctive, argumentative, explicative. Considered as super-enounced textdiscourse, the textbook is a hybrid discourse as it bases its functioning on all forms of discursive genres, reflected in: scientific discourse of a subject, specialised discourse of pedagogical sciences, literary discourse of artistic texts, non-literary discourse, journalistic discourse, daily discourse. Beyond its role of social instrument, the textbook is the support material for cognitive and axiological contents. As text-discourse, the textbook has a binary structure: from structural (textual) point of view the textbook consists of a macrostructure (general aspect, exterior of the textbook) that contains the sum of all microstructures (sequence within the macrostructure, learning unit or lesson). These textual units do not appear separate, but related by signifying ties which offer coherence and cohesion to the text.
