Language under microscope writeup 2022 This text comes from a restaurant review that appears in the newspaper "The Observer," and it is based in a popular area in Edinburgh. Therefore, as readers we presume that the review details both the positives and negatives of dining at the restaurant, helping us to judge whether it is worth going there, a restaurant that would be considered worth dining at. This review has a target audience of typical food lovers, in particular those who enjoy going out to eat in restaurants or trying out new places. This would be the primary, but the secondary audience involves people who often read articles and enjoy elements of review writing where there is something to be judged and you can form an opinion of it. This helps explain why this review has a lot of rhetorical and expressive purposes as it is providing factual information such as the prices of the food, "set lunch £25," and the geographical location of the restaurant, "The Lookout, Calton Hill, Edinburgh." As a review, the text follows the typical discourse structure of this genre of writing. We are introduced to the restaurant with the headline "The Lookout Edinburgh - High altitude dining - and prices - but worth it." The use of this headline foregrounds the expensive prices of the food through the parenthetic clause "- and prices" which already forms a critical opinion of an aspect of the writer's dining experience. However, this critical opinion is juxtaposed with the final words "but worth it" suggesting a redeeming aspect of his dining experience counters the expensive pricing.This provokes interest in the readers of this review as we want to learn more about what makes the dining experience "worth it" as curiosity has been created. There is a primary lexical field of architecture through the listing of "glass walls, polished concrete floors, a light well through a geometric funnel of a ceiling and an open kitchen with a fire grill." This extensive listing of describing the appearance of the restaurant presents the place as modern and a high-end place to visit. This description would appeal to a middle class or higher social class whom can afford to dine here. This also sets an informative tone by remaining relatively objective without enforcing any strong opinion negatively or positively. However, this neutral opinion changes when a semantic field of social media is introduced: "it is drop-dead, look-at-me, I'm Instagram-ready gorgeous."
