The Genesis of Text Typology: For another Approach to the Topics of Specialized Text Typology
Text typology no longer seems to generate much interest in research in text linguistics. This article seeks to spark new interest in this area by looking at the problem through a different prism. Based on concepts such as episteme from general philosophy (Foucault), discourse formation from philosophy of linguistics (Foucault) and interdiscourse, intertext and surface text from linguistics (Courtine), the author attempts to demonstrate that the lack of interest in this topic is linked to the level of analysis rather than to the topic itself.
