Abstract

Language is communicated through discourse which consists of texts between a speaker and a hearer (receiver). Linguists have defined a text as the unit beyond a sentence. A text can be described in terms of textuality which identifies the properties and characteristics of a text. This paper aims to describe textuality which is uttered in hospitality English on the basis of seven criteria (cohesion, coherence, intentionality, acceptability, informativity, situationality, and intertextuality) suggested by Beaugrande and Dressler(1981). This paper shows all seven kinds of the textuality mentioned above are used in hospitality English discourse. We furthermore suggest that the seven criteria of textuality must be taught to the learners in the hospitality English.

Keywords
