The uniformised communication: On the basis of a specific educational path

Abstract

The article presents an analysis of an educational path as a genre in the form of a collection with its flexible rules. It refers to sets of utterances published on boards or posters placed on areas of natural interest and presenting its values. Continuing her earlier studies, the author enriches the communicative perspective of the analyses. She aims at showing the eclectic nature of communication programmed in the analysed educational path.The communication plane is created by a mosaic of discourses with the educational one as the lead, yet updated in the absorptive manner (thus, among others, there is a specification the uniformised communication in the title of the article). In this case the genre filter acts peculiarly, since the realisation of generic rules on the structural level is accompanied by a deepening simultaneity of the sender’s roles with a parallel masking of this process. An official acts in the legislator’s uniform and an educator (teacher) receives a communication costume of a scientist. The world is presented from the professional (scientific) point of view and the utterances take a stereotyped form (the other indicator of uniformisation).The analysed educational path has a low cognitive value both due to the scope and the manner of the knowledge transfer. The entirety — discussed as macrocommunication accomplishing the generic rules in the form of a collection — is unsuccessful in terms of communication. One cannot expect that it will fulfill the function harmonising with the communicational intention of the sender.
