Text linguistics is a field of linguistics dedicated to the study of the text as a fundamental unit of communication, extending analysis beyond the traditional sentence boundary. It investigates the principles and properties that govern the structure, coherence, and function of texts, examining how meaning is constructed and conveyed through interconnected sentences and larger discourse units. Key areas of inquiry include cohesion, coherence, text typologies, pragmatics, and the relationship between text and context, aiming to provide a comprehensive understanding of text production, processing, and interpretation in various communicative settings.
