COORDINATES OF THE LINGUISTICS OF THE TEXT IN THE ENVIRONMENT OF THE INTEGRAL LINGUISTICS OF EUGENIO COSERIU

Summary/Abstract: Integral linguistics is not just another form of structuralist linguistics, but one that anticipates or integrates in a creative – albeit polemic – manner certain orientations that are specific to all great linguistic schools of the 20th century, such as the structuralist (including the glossematic), the generative-transformational and the pragmatic schools. Linguistic integralism is an extremely original, modern and unitary anti-positivist direction, which recuperates all that had been eliminated or set aside by structuralism and which can be defined, essentially, as a polyphonic post-structuralism with a strong foundation and frequent insertions of theory and philosophy of language (such as, for example, conciliating Saussure’s vision on language as a system of functional opposition with Humboldt’s vision – of an Aristotelian origin – regarding language as enérgeia. As an activity of creation, language is both an infinite form of human culture and the basis of such culture, especially as a cultural tradition. Text linguistics, as hermeneutics of meaning, constitutes the third component of Coseriu’s integral linguistics, alongside linguistics of language and linguistics of languages. Eugenio Coseriu is not, as some say, just a mere predecessor of text linguistics/ discourse analysis, but is, in fact, one of the founders of this language science that is so ‘in vogue’ nowadays.
