Annotation

The main idea that underlies this book is that text linguistics has to be considered part of a theory of action. After a critical discussion of earlier models within the field of text linguistics the author tries to develop a framework for the description of texts in consideration of results of speech act theory, conversational analysis, and social sciences.
