Arti literal: ‘Retell’ vs ‘Recount’

Sebelum mempelajari struktur teks, ada baiknya mengetahui arti dari recount itu
sendiri. Menurut kamus Cambridge, recount means to describe how something
happened, or to tell a story. Lalu apa bedanya dengan kata tell dan kenapa
tidak retell text bukan recount text?
Retell dan recount memiliki arti yang sama: menceritakan kembali. Melalui
Wikidiff, ditemukan perbedaannya antara keduanya.
As verbs the difference between retell and recount is that retell is to tell again, to
paraphrase, to tell something one has read or heard, while, recount is to tell over;
to relate in detail; to recite; to tell or narrate the particulars of .
As a noun recount is retelling, narration, rendering or recount can be a counting
again, as of votes.
Dapat disimpulkan bahwa recount berarti menceritakan lebih rinci.
