Abstract

This dissertation is aimed at comparing spoken and written Thai discourse. The main focus of this study is on the linguistic features that distinguish spoken and written Thai discourse. These features include subordination, coordination, nominalization, questions, imperatives, direct quotes, particles, and repetition. Since language and social context cannot be kept apart, my ultimate goal is to identify the sociolinguistic variables that contribute to and influence the features differentiating spoken from written texts.
