Typological discourse analysis

One of the topics in text linguistics that I expect to see explored and developed is a language typology based on the characteristic ways in which the text is structured and functions in the language. As one bred in a different cultural tradition from the West, on the one hand, and educated largely in Western academic tradition, on the other, I intuitively feel that languages differ tendentially as to the structural and functional potentialities of the text they produce. Such differences can meaningfully be characterized in terms of how far the test can fulfil its communicative function independently of the context ('context-independent' vs. 'contextdependent'). The questions of whether the notion of the sentence or that of the text is relatively more primary in the language ('sentence-primary' vs. 'text-primary'), whether the producer of the receiver of the text plays a relatively more important role in the proper functioning of the text ('producer-oriented' vs. 'receiver-oriented') or how much the text construction is sensitive to the interpersonal rather than to the ideational function associated with the text arise ('dictum-oriented' vs. 'modusoriented'). It is easy to foresee that some of the features of these pairs will correlate. It will also be interesting to see whether we will end up with just one type of correlation, or more than one type of correlation, which will help us to define a textual typology across languages. Research in these lines will certainly reveal that the traditional emphasis on the 'contextindependent', 'producer-oriented' and 'dictum-oriented' type (rather than the 'context-dependent*, 'receiver-oriented' and 'modus-oriented' type) of text and on the 'sentence-primary' assumption (rather than the 'textprimary' assumption) as research strategy is not warranted in view of the wide range of different text types that human beings are capable of processing and of the varying preferences different languages give to certain types of text. In typologically characterizing a language at the textual level, 'poetic text' deserves to be paid much more attention than it usually receives. In studying the phonological, morphological and syntactic aspects of a
