1. What is Text Linguistics? Text linguistics studies texts, not just sentences. It explores how cohesion, coherence, intentionality, situationality, intertextuality and other features make language function as communicative wholes. Fundamental: Seven Standards of Textuality.

2. Why Interdisciplinarity Matters Textual phenomena are shaped by cognition, society, media, and culture. Methods needed: - Corpus statistics - Cognitive models - Social theory - Computational modeling - Multimodal analysis Benefits: richer explanations, new methods, practical uses.

3. Links with Other Disciplines • Linguistics – cohesion, coherence, discourse structures • Sociology – texts as mirrors of ideology & society • Psychology – cognitive text processing • Computer Science – NLP, machine translation, AI • Translation Studies – cohesion & coherence in translation • Media & Cultural Studies – multimodality, context

4. Conclusion Text Linguistics is interdisciplinary by nature. It links linguistics, sociology, psychology, computer science, and translation studies. This integration provides stronger theory and broader applications.
