Words, sentences and texts remain the objects of distinct disciplines separated byt academic rather than scientific boundaries. Lexicology and syntax still fall within the realm of linguistics, but the study of texts is generally turned over to other disciplines such as poetics, semiotics, hermeneutics. Though a restricted form of linguistics, centred on morphosyntax, still dominates, I wish to demonstrate, on the one hand, that a text cannot be reduced to a series of sentences and, on the other, that it constitutes not only the umpirical object, but also the real object of linguistics.” (View image)
