	"It concerns the ways in which the components of the textual world, i.e. the configuration of concepts and relations which underlie the surface text are mutually accessible and relevant."
· Which STANDARD OF TEXTUALITY does the previous citation refer to?
		·

	acceptability
	
	cohesion
	 
	coherence
	
	intentionality
	Respondido em 25/03/2021 15:34:51
	
	Explicação:
According to VAN DIJK, 1976,  the textual world (what the text is about) is made up of concepts and relations. COHERENCE concerns the way in which concepts and relations are mutually accessible and relevant. In other words, a coherent text is one which is easy for us to understand because it is easy for us to make a mental representation of it. Remember that it is possible for a text to be cohesive but not coherent.

	Select the choice that best represents the topic of the paragraph. "You've probably heard that older men die before older women virtually everywhere in the world. In the United States, women are expected to live an average of 80.4 years, while men live only 75.2 years. Sociologists attribute many factors to this trend. For example, men have higher testosterone levels than women, which may make men more likely to abuse alcohol and tobacco, drive aggressively, and engage in other life-threatening behaviors. Men also choose riskier types of work and become involved in wartime aggression, which are connected to men¿s decreased life expectancy. Studies also show that women are less likely to experience life-threatening illnesses and health problems than men are."

You might carry out a critical review as a stand-alone exercise, or as part of your research and preparation for writing a literature review. To be critical does not mean to criticize in an exclusively negative manner. To be critical of a text means you question the information and opinions in the text, in an attempt to evaluate or judge its worth overall.
