Discourse Markers

Icons can help us orient ourselves in texts and so on. Below are icons we use regularly, along with very brief explanations and links to much more information.

DAO LORE The main icon near the top of a "Build Tao" essay of stringed points. It shows that one or many ways (means) of gaining or building (for) Tao presumably follows. [MORE] [MORE] [MORE]

LoOne

The first, beginning level of discourse has this heading. There are no fixed images to go with it. Many and widely divergent images occur. [MORE]


LoTwo

Span 2 Occasionally this picture is dropped, and occasionally a puppy replaces it [MORE].


LoThree

3rd discourse level This image serves to identify the third step of the discourse.
A five-pointed star - Welcoming Hands - Welcoming Hands - or TAO ICON or Welcoming Hands underscore that Tao (some variant of it, really), could be attained at this stage. A glad dog picture may signal the same. [MORE] [MORE]


Summary

SUMMARY ICON A magpie is frequently used to to mark the summary of the essay proper. [MORE]


DESTILLED, THEN "In a nutshell" - The image of this newborn child shows the summary summarised, often in the form of a capsule (extract) that can be favourable to remember and bear in mind, all in all.


Anecdote or Similar

ANECDOTE ICON ANECDOTE ICON One of these icons serves to mark anecdotes when they appear. There are possibly hundreds. Anecdotes round off many essays, but not all of them. [MORE]
