Description of the Syntax of the Text in Modern Linguistics

Abstract

The article is devoted to the descriptive characteristic of the concept of syntax of text and discourse. For a long time, these concepts were analyzed by many scientists and developed the principles for the analysis of these syntactic units. In their writings, the text as a linguistic category and the difference in concepts text and discourse are considered. The history of the study and the current state of these phenomena in linguistics are described. A wide understanding of the term “text” has been established relatively recently. It is associated with the general trend of interpretation of culture as a complex semiotic education. This approach is due to the development of semiotics. In the French tradition, the term “discourse” for coherent speech was used by E. Benvenist, indicating them with a speech work, which occurs every time we speak.
