Textual Linguistics: Comparison
Please note this is a comparison between Version 2 by Dean Liu and Version 3 by Dean Liu.

Textual linguistics is a branch of linguistics concerned with the analysis of texts as units of language that extend beyond individual sentences, examining their structural organization, semantic coherence, cohesion, and communicative functions [1][2]. It investigates the linguistic and contextual principles through which sentences and other textual elements are connected to form meaningful and functionally organized wholes, including relationships established through reference, substitution, ellipsis, conjunction, and lexical cohesion [1]. Textual linguistics distinguishes the analysis of texts as interconnected communicative units from the analysis of isolated sentences, while recognizing that textual organization involves grammatical, semantic, pragmatic, and contextual dimensions [2]. Its scope includes the structural properties and interpretive conditions of both written and spoken texts, although specific theoretical approaches differ in how they define textuality and the boundaries of a text [2][3].
