The Procedures Of Analyzing Texts Between Textual Linguistics And Cognitive Linguistics

Abstract

Linguistics has undergone a qualitative shift in the process of analyzing natural language texts for some time. Most linguistic theses in the recent past have surpassed the limits of the linguistic sentence due to the shortcomings of its concept and its related aspects, in achieving a description of the data both before and after the syntactic structure of the language, as well as the structural system with its conceptual framework in European linguistics, in particular.

Linguistics in the Germanic region, in particular, has come to view language as a natural phenomenon from the perspective of the concept of the linguistic text. This concept serves as the most appropriate model for applying practical procedures in the analysis processes of texts, while observing the systems of interaction between the components of the language during the practice of its speakers in endless situations that align with the nature of linguistic performance within the speaking community.

This study reviews the aspects of analyzing linguistic texts through two linguistic trends that overlap in their level of analysis but differ in the theoretical foundations of the two approaches: textual linguistics and cognitive linguistics.

The textual approach emphasizes the social, psychological, and informational aspects of human language, while the cognitive approach focuses on the neurocognitive processes involved in language activity in the brain.

The aim of this study is to clarify the boundaries of the analysis processes for each approach and to showcase the procedural tools utilized by each separately, as well as the sources from which each approach derives these procedures.
