Text typology no longer seems to generate much interest in research in text linguistics. This article seeks to spark new interest in this area by looking at the problem through a different prism. Based on concepts such as episteme form general philosophy (Foucault), discourse formation from philosophy of linguistics (Foucault) and interdiscourse,, intertext and surface text form linguistics (Courtine), the author attempts to demonstrate that he lack of interest in this topic is linked to the level of analysis rather than to the topic itself.
