The course provides an introduction to some key concepts and topics in text linguistics, focussing on the "standards of textuality": cohesion, coherence, intentionality, acceptability, situationality, intertextuality and informativity. A variety of examples based on authentic language data (mostly written texts) will be analysed.

Syllabus
1. Text and textuality, text as a product and a process, the standards of textuality
2. Cohesion - the classical approach (cohesive ties, reference, grammatical cohesion, lexical cohesion, lexico-grammatical cohesion, implicit signals of cohesion)
3. Cohesion - lexical patterns
4. Coherence; bridging assumption (inference); text colonies
5. Coherence: information structure
6. Intentionality and acceptability
7. Situationality
8. Intertextuality
9. Informativity
10. Corpora and text analysis
