This has been indeed been a worrying yet interesting journey. The reason as to why I mixed those two is because I do have a mix feeling inside me right now as I conclude my blog. Taking up this subject, Issues to Desktop Publishing has certainly open my eyes to the world, knowing about the current issue and how we ourselves can be aware and learn from it.
The relationship between texts and contexts is thus an interdependent one. Each affects the other, although it cannot be said either that contexts determine texts, nor that text determine contexts. As Halliday expresses it, 'the text creates the context as much as the context creates the text' (1985:37). I have learn to understand how texts and contexts is vital and it comes together in delivering a message to readers.
I have also learn that in most texts, now involve a complex interplay of written text, images and other graphic or sound elements, designed as coherent (Kress and van Leeuwen, 2006). Text and images gives readers a better understanding in reading a written text and referring to a picture.
Upon designing this whole blog, I have learn to use hyperlink to direct from one website to another for more information or for better understanding.
