| - | A [[text]] is a [[written]] [[passage]] consisting of [[multiple]] [[character]]s, [[symbol]]s or [[sentence]]s; a [[book]], [[tome]] or other set of [[writing]]s. In [[language]], text is something that [[word container|contains words]] to [[express]] [[something]], regarded as an [[object]] of [[critical]] [[analysis]]. | ||
| - | Specific literary theories are distinguished not only by their methods and conclusions, but even by how they define "text." For many, "texts" means "literary (i.e. 'high' art) texts" (see literature). But different principles and methods of literary theory have been applied to non-fiction, pop fiction, film, historical documents, law, advertising, etc. In fact, some theories (e.g. structuralism) treat cultural events like fashion, football, riots, etc. as "texts." | ||

| - | In [[literary theory]] a text is the object being studied, whether it be a novel, a poem, a film, an advertisement, or anything else with a linguistic component. The broad use of the term derives from the rise of semiotics in the 1960s and was solidified by the later cultural studies of the 1980s, which brought a corresponding broadening of what it was one could talk about when talking about literature; see also ''[[discourse]]''. | ||
