Text linguistics. Text linguistics is a branch of linguistics that deals with texts as communication systems.
Its original aims lay in uncovering and describing text grammars. The application of text linguistics has, however, evolved from this approach to a point in which text is viewed in much broader terms that go beyond a mere extension of traditional grammar towards an entire text.

Linguistics illuminates patterns and variety in the structure and use of language, providing a foundation for language development work of all kinds.
Understanding Language Linguistics - the study of language in all its aspects - has been a central activity of SIL since its beginning. Besides the intrinsic value of understanding the intricate complexity of human language in general, whether spoken or signed, the study of a particular individual language serves also as a tool used in language development projects of different kinds such as: SIL workers living in a language community for any extended period of time generally learn that language, aided by the tools of linguistics.
Language is intimately tied to society and culture, and the study of linguistics with respect to these constitutes another important aspect of understanding language. Working Together Scholarship Sharing. SIL International. Sociolinguistics analyzes significant linguistic and social variables and how they impact each other, providing a necessary basis for realistic and effective language planning and development.
Sociolinguistics in SIL has to do with helping those working with languages better understand the factors and issues relevant to their work. It is foundational to effective projects and to making good planning and strategy decisions. Sociolinguistic expertise is an important resource for planning, resource allocation and partnering. All of those involved in translation, literacy, linguistic analysis and multilingual education must understand how sociolinguistic factors and considerations impact the best practices of what they are doing. Sociolinguistics in SIL also has to do with helping assure the cross pollination of current advances, understandings, models, best practices, and other useful considerations between the larger sociolinguistic community and SIL.
