In linguistics, the notion of text is broad and still open to a more precise definition. Roughly speaking, it can be understood as a linguistic manifestation of an author's ideas, which will be interpreted by the reader according to their linguistic and cultural knowledge. Its size is variable. A set of articulated words and phrases, written on any support[1]. Written work considered in its original and authentic writing (as opposed to summary, translation, notes, comments, etc.)[2]. "A text is a linguistic occurrence, written or spoken of any length, endowed with a socio-communicative, semantic and formal unit. It is a unit of language in use."[3] The interest in the text as an object of study generated several important works by theoreticians of Textual Linguistics, who went through different phases whose main characteristics were to overcome the limits of the decontextualized sentence of traditional grammar and also to include the relevant roles of the author and the reader in the construction of texts. . A text can be written or oral and, in a broad sense, it can also be non-verbal. Critical text is a textual production that starts from a reflective and analytical process generating content with constructive and well-founded criticism. In graphic arts, text is the verbal, linguistic part, as opposed to illustrations. Every text must have some formal aspects, that is, it must have structure, elements that establish a relationship with each other. Within the formal aspects we have cohesion and coherence, which give meaning and form to the text. "Textual cohesion is the relationship, connection, connection between the words, expressions or sentences of the text[4]. Coherence is related to the understanding, the interpretation of what is said or written. A text must have meaning, that is that is, it needs to have coherence. Although cohesion is not a sufficient condition for utterances to be constituted in texts, it is the cohesive elements that give them greater readability and evidence the relationships between their various components, coherence depends on cohesion. [edit] Literary and non-literary texts Literary texts are those that, in general, aim to move the reader, and for that they explore connotative or poetic language. In general, there is a predominance of the emotional and poetic function. Examples of literary texts: poems, literary novels, short stories, soap operas. Non-literary texts intend to inform the reader directly and objectively, using denotative language. The referential function predominates in non-literary texts. Examples of non-literary texts: news and journalistic reports, texts from History, Geography, Science textbooks, scientific texts in general, cooking recipes, medicine leaflets.
