In a previous project, "Text linguistic models for the study of the process of simultaneous interpretation.
A pilot study" (Niska and Wande, in press), a number of text linguistic models for the description of the interpreting process were evaluated.
Besides the translatological interest, the project members believe the study would be fruitful both for text linguistics and the theoretical development of terminology, as there has been very little research on the relation between terminology, LSP phraseology and LSP discourse.

  Text linguistics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Text lingustics is a branch of linguistics that deals with texts as communication systems.
The application of text linguistics has, however, evolved from this approach to a point in which text is viewed in much broader terms that go beyond a mere extension of traditional grammar towards an entire text.
Both the author of a (written or spoken) text as well as its addressee are taken into consideration in their respective (social and/or institutonal) roles in the specific communicative context.

 Linguistics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linguistics is the scientific study of human language, and someone who engages in this study is called a linguist or linguistician.
Applications of computational linguistics in machine translation, computer-assisted translation, and natural language processing are extremely fruitful areas of applied linguistics which have come to the forefront in recent years with increasing computing power.
Sociolinguistics, anthropological linguistics, and linguistic anthropology are social sciences that consider the interactions between linguistics and society as a whole.

 Text linguistic models for the study of simultaneous interpreting
Text linguistics has emerged from the 1970s and onwards as the study of the property of texts (written or oral) and their uses in communicative interaction.
The modern conception of text linguistics is a broad one, encompassing discourse analysis and pragmatics, as well as influences from cognitive sciences, communication studies and artificial intelligence.
The objectives were both to assess some of the text linguistic models for the description of the process of simultaneous interpreting that had been presented in previous research, and to test a hypothesis as to the existence, in the simultaneous interpreting situation, of a special variant of translation, for which we coined the term "translatorese".

 Introduction to Text Linguistics
In the present book, we devote some space to comparing the “paradigm” of text linguistics with older paradigms; yet we too are compelled to maintain a reasonable degree of unity and consistency, even where the community of text linguists is still engaged in lively debate.
It seems reasonable to require that a science of texts should be able to describe or explain both the shared features and the distinctions among these texts or text types.
Yet simply by virtue of the textual configuration, a text receiver is likely to assume that the action is in each case the purpose of being at that location; that the locations are proximate to each other, probably in or near the royal palace; and even that the actions are proximate in time.

 Critical Theory and Systemic Linguistics: Textualizing the Contact Zone   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Because composition’s use of linguistics largely favored formal models of generative grammar and text linguistics, scholars using linguistics were simply unable to confront the ideological issues of power and subjectivity that have become central to the field.
For systemic linguists, what is not at issue is how the elements of the situation came to be organized that way, whose interests are served by that organization, whether all participants experience that organization in the same way, or whether the organization is itself at issue among participants.
The problem, epitomized in their work, is that the premises underlying the linguistics of community force researchers either to advocate the dissolution of the dominated group (as with Bernstein) or to criticize as “inauthentic” members of dominated groups who use the dominant discourse (as with Labov).

 Relationship between translation and text linguistics: - Implications for the teaching of English as a foreign language ...
Though translation is as old as the contact of a language with alien speakers, the emergence of textlinguistics in the 1970s marked the beginning of a new interest in translation as a subject worthy of serious academic studies.
Hornby (1985:22) argues vehemently that both textlinguistics and translation are “basically concerned with the text, not as a chain of separate sentences… but as a complex, structured whole, whereby coherence, cohesion, focus and progression are of primary importance”.
Textlinguistics focuses primarily on text-theory and discourse analysis.

He also summarizes the most important questions (relating to textology, text linguistics, their definitions, the study of text-creating factors, the given theoretical framework, etc.) that must be answered before an explicit heuristics of textology and text linguistics can be developed.
Three possible approaches to analyzing coreferentiality are exemplified: analysis of a single coreference chain within the text; demonstration of several coreference chains in isolation from the text, enumerating the elements regarded as coreferential; and the demonstration of textual coreference by substitution of all referred factors with special names and indices.

Some partisans may deny the value of text linguistics altogether and insist that sentence linguistics is the proper domain of investigation.

 Bibliography
Various elements of text structure are immediately desirable from a text-relationship maps, for example, the importance of a paragraph might be related to the number of incident branches of the corresponding node on the map, or a central node might then be characterized as one with a large number of associated paragraphs.
Then, she developed the attribute model of the news text in which pieces of text are evaluated for their specific value on each of eight dimensions: time of event, tense, importance, attribution, objectivity, definiteness, completion and causality.
Their approach falls into the constatation that certain types of text conform to a set of style and organization constraints, for example, for the news text the DMS is: background and what is the news, and the summarization is based on DMS template filling.
