Text and sentence

Abstract EN

In the past, the sentence was considered the basic linguistic unit in describing language.

But not all sentences can describe language.

Because sometimes though a sentence is grammatically correct, it has no meaning in isolation.

It needs to be related to other sentences and a context.

Therefore, the present paper aims to expose how the sentence structure, as a linguistic unit, alone cannot convey the meaning, and that text, a coherent set of sentences, becomes the linguistic unit that elucidates language and evinces the implied meanings.
