Scanning • Unlike the general skim through, scanning involves quickly looking for specific words, phrases or information. • This would be used with this article if it was being scanned for potential relevancy. Detailed reading A detailed reading will allow attention to be given to identifying primary and secondary or subsidiary arguments properly in the text. Here, the reading is slower and careful. Do make sure that you check out unfamiliar vocabulary. Also some words and phrases become clear as more text is read. For example: • what does the word ‘Lexcalibur’ mean? Where does this word come from? • what does the phrase ‘the European public square’ mean? Neither the word ‘Lexcalibur’ nor the phrase ‘the European Public Square’ can be found in a dictionary. However, their meaning unfolds in the article. Note the type of language used. Thinking closely about the text the most obvious language usage is figurative. The writer uses short sentences, slogans, rhetorical questions, poetic language, metaphor, invents words. Take a look at the demonstration of this in Figure 6.3, below.
