A compound discourse is a discourse that contains sections belonging to two or more kinds of discourse.
Example : n the Bible, Paul’s epistle to the Ephesians contains both expository discourse and hortatory discourse.(Expository discourse is a discourse that explains or describes a topic ; Hortatory discourse is a discourse that is an attempt to persuade the addressee to fulfill commands that are given in the discourse.)
Here is a kind of compound discourse:
Dialogue discourse is a compound discourse that contains both narrative discourse and repartee discourse.
(A narrative discourse is a discourse that is an account of events, usually in the past, that employs verbs of speech, motion, and action to describe a series of events that are contingent one on another, and that typically focuses on one or more performers of actions; Repartee discourse is a discourse that is used to recount a series of speech exchanges.)
