TEXT AS A COMMUNICATIVE UNIT AND ITS MAIN CATEGORIES

Text ( Latin = fabric, connection ) =

- any sequence of signs having logical and formal order (Semiotics)

- a sequence of words ordered according to the rules of a given language system

- a verbal communicative event (written/oral) (Pragma-linguistics)

- a product of speech activity;

- a highest communicative unit of speech having a semantic, communicative and structural coherence

Text linguistics studies

Text is characterised by

1. permanence ( written variety of language)

2. integrity (I.Galperin - g estalt = inseparability of the whole, oneness, an entity in itself )

3. it is constructed on certain models

4. textual categories

types of text models:

fixed (rigid) – rule-bound = strict requirements to grammar, vocabulary and composition

usual (flexible) – partially standardized = a number of regularities with a certain degree of creative freedom

free (flexible) – highest degree of creative freedom
