Abstract: this article reveals the notion and the concept of text, including literary text, its main functions and key characteristics, as well as the problem of its comprehension and interpretation. Text is a complex linguistic unit, and there is no agreement among linguists concerning the notion of this concept, and that causes a problem in case of any linguistic analysis whereas text is considered as an object. The present article provides a review on several approaches towards the afore-mentioned problem. Besides, we pay attention towards the aims and objectives of the text linguistics, or linguistic analysis – the modern branch of language science – in terms of which the categories representing the notion of text are established. Having the range of distinctive features, a literary text is also of linguistic analysis` interest. Due to its modern techniques, and in case of merging the methods of different linguistic branches, including stylistics, speech act theory, as well as the methods of allied sciences like philosophy and psychology, it makes it possible to elaborate the complex system, the main objective of which is to give a deep and detailed examination of such a complicated linguistic unit as literary text.
Keywords: text, literary text, linguistic analysis, linguistic unit, text categories, text linguistics.
