WHAT IS A TEXT?
This could be a letter, an
email, a novel, a poem, a recipe, a note,
instructions for D.I.Y, an article in a newspaper
or magazine, writing on a webpage or an
advert. All of these examples can be called

When you are reading or writing any text think
about the PURPOSE of the textor why it has been
written.

What might the purpose of a text be?
Of an advert?

An advert might be trying to persuade you to buy
something.
A letter from school might be to inform you about
something.
A novel might describe somewhere or someone to
you.
A car manual might instruct you how to do
something to your car.

Text type and terminology vary from text to text.
Every organization uses normally several text
types.
Possibly some text type can be dominant, or it
may be possible that there is a large set of text
types of equal frequencies.
Another secondary dimension along the same line
is the set of different special sets of
terminology that the organization uses and their
respective sizes.
The size of a set of terminology is understood
here as the number of individual terms grouped
under the set of terminology.
