complete, united by the general theme of the meaningful whole. The text is also a
product of a deliberate speech act. In pragmatic direction (instrument of an act of
communication between the addressee and the addressee for a certain purpose) the
text has its informative content, that is, it covers a separate fragment of the
linguistic picture of the world with varying degrees of objectivity.
The text is the unity of sentences, arranged in a certain sequence and
interconnected in content, intonation, style, orientation through various linguistic
possibilities. In speech - it is a statement consisting of a set of sentences, thus
forming the content and structural integrity.
Leading signs of the text:
- more than one sentence;
- presence of a set of common themes and ideas;
- consistency of presentation of information and completeness;
- presence of grammatical and content types of communication between units
of text (sentences).
The text often has a title. The minimum unit of text is the sentence. The most
important features of the text are integrity, connectivity, structural organization,
completeness. The integrity of the text lies in the fact that it outlines the subject,
and the statement is subordinate to the achievement of the goal. The connectivity
of the text is manifested in the fact that there is a tight semantic connection
between its constituent parts – sentences, groups of sentences or larger
components. Thematic closeness, the relationship between the constituent parts are
in interaction. The text is composed of more or less sentences, but not always a set
of sentences is a text. In order for a certain group of sentences to be perceived as a
coherent statement, the text is necessary to adhere to certain features. The first sign
of the text is the topic - as it stands in the text - which covers all its parts. A
necessary feature of the text is its main idea - with which purpose the text is
created. The characteristic of the text is also the content link between the sentences
and their consistency in the presentation of the content.
