Definition of Writing
The
writing is a emphasis on the composed
product rather than the composing process;
the analysis of discourse
into words, sentences,
and paragraphs; the
strong concern with
usage (syntax, spelling, punctuation) and with style (education, economy,
clarity, emphasis); and so on[1]
Writing is
means of communication
between people. It
should follow some conventions that are unique of all which
relate letters to words and words
to sentences which must be well
organized to have a coherent whole called ”text”. This skill or means of
communication is neither innate or natural , it must be done and practised a
lot to
be learnt and
make use of
it and its
rules; therefore, the
writer does not
write for himself but he writes
for his reader, for that the writer must clearly state his ideas to make
himself understood[2].
Writing
is a group of organized expressions that form a whole, and convey specific meanings.
Writing defines as a process of thinking to invent ideas, exploring and
arranging them into statements and paragraphs, rather than a mere production of
graphic symbols, writing is then considered as a sort of communication between
writers and readers. Thus, an ability to express and organize ideas, and a
prior knowledge about the topic are required in any piece of writing.[3].
Based
on Coulmas there are six meanings of ‘writing’ can be distinguished: (1) a
system of recording language by means of visible or tactile marks; (2) the
activity of putting such a system to use ; (3) the result of such activity, atext;
(4) the particular form of such a result, a script style such as block letter writing;
(5) artistic composition ; (6) a professional occupation, it is called the
‘product’ approach because its aim was to produce correct texts and concentrates on
the appropriate use of
vocabulary, syntax and cohesive devices.[4].
