Omformulering af tekst

 

I denne opgave bliver man bedt om at omformulere en tekst fra et stilleje til et andet.

 

Når man taler om stilleje, skelner man mellem

- formel stil, som bl.a. er karakteriseret af lange, komplekst opbyggede sætninger (mange lange ledsætninger) og korrekt grammatik, stavning og tegnsætning.

- neutral stil

- uformel stil/talesprog, som bl.a. er karakteriseret af korte, simpelt opbyggede sætninger. Her hører ufuldstændige sætninger, slang, bandeord, fyldord, ukorrekt grammatik, ukorrekt stavning og ukorrekt tegnsætning til, ligesom brug af store bogstaver og udråbstegn til angivelse af emfase.

 

Det er en god ide at gå systematisk til værks, tage et ”sprogligt niveau” ad gangen og se hvilke karakteristiske træk, man kan ændre på i forhold til tekstens sætningsopbygning, ordvalg, grammatisk, stavning  og tegnsætning.

 

På sætningsniveau f.eks.: ufuldstændige, lange/korte, komplekse/simple sætninger,

På ordniveau f.eks.: ordklasser, slang, bandeord, billedsprog, fyldord

På grammatikalsk niveau f.eks.: korrekthed

På stavning og tegnsætningsniveau f.eks.: sammentrækninger, afvigende stavemåder til at gengive udtale, brug af store bogstaver og udråbstegn til at angive emfase, manglende tegnsætning etc.

 

 

Eksempel på opgave

 

Write a formal and grammatically correct version of the e-mail (75-100 words) in English.

Hi there NewBoot.com!

 

Got you’re parcel with new shoes yesterday. Waited two week which is totally not ok! And when i open,

hey,wrong size! Not the colour I had order either, no sir. And you wants ME to pay for shipping of this sh..?

No way. So, what next? You send me the shoes I want? An these little ladys shoes, do you want them back?

 

Jeremy Thornbay, NJ

 

Dear NewBoot.com!

I received your parcel with my new shoes yesterday. I have waited a fortnight for this parcel, and the standard delivery time is supposed to be two to three days. Furthermore, when I opened it, the shoes were the wrong size and colour. As a result of this, I do not feel obligated to pay for the shipping. On the other hand, I would still like my shoes, so will you send me a new parcel? Also, how would you like me to return the ladies’ shoes you sent?

 

Kind regards

Jeremy Thornbay NJ.
