Summary

Chapter 5 is a direct continuation of the stylistic features discussed in Chapter 4. Rather than focusing on intra-textual aspects, though, this chapter looks at the extra-textual factors medium, hypokrisis (delivery) and audience, all of which further influence lexis on its third level. The chapter finishes with an examination of the purpose and function of lexis on its third level.
