Coordination:

Gee believes that politics within a Discourse is the acceptability, or lack thereof, of different behaviors and practices.

I wanted to put equal weight on acceptability or the lack of acceptability of certain practices because both are important to the politics of a Discourse.

This political idea shapes the way that those within the science Discourse approach reading and writing scientific articles.

Reading and writing are both important parts of the science Discourse because researchers participate in both practices.

Those truly in the science Discourse find the holes in a colleagues study, find how to expand upon studies, or may even replicate them to confirm their results.

Researchers, the identity that I was discussing, would be performing both practices: expanding and replicating studies.

Subordination:

Before diving into the abstract to see if the full article is worth reading, even scientists, view hundreds of titles.

I intend to emphasize that titles are read before the abstract, making the title more important that the abstract.

If the reader determines that all of these three pieces are “acceptable”  than they are more likely to read the full article.

I tried to put emphasis on the fact that readers must find the first few things they look at acceptable before they will continue reading.
