This lecture's topic was "Applied Linguistics" and how to apply text theory e.g. by formatting a text.

Homework

1. What are text objects? Name two and give typical properties.
2. What are document objects? Name one and give typical properties.
3. What are paragraph styles? Name two types of paragraph. For each type, give their typical properties.

1. characters: properties of characters are font, size, colour; characters can also be underlined, made bold or be written in italics.
   tables: properties of tables include borders, number of rows/columns, spacing, head-row and also properties of the characters which fill out the cells
2. page: properties of a page are the size, the margin, header and footer
3. Paragraph styles in word processors format paragraphs by giving a clear structure to them. Paragraph properties are e.g. headings and subheadings (heading 1, heading 2,...), spacing, indentation. In word processors these properties are usually predefined in the "Default"-settings, but a user can alter these settings to make them more appropriate for his purpose.
