Textual typology and reading comprehension in E/LE

Abstract

Since it was established as a scientific discipline at the beginning of the 20th century, the Linguistic was devoted for decades to study the linguistic system focusing its study on prayer as the maximum unit of analysis. However, both the structuralism with Ferdinand de Saussure as generativism with Noam Chomsky establish the distinction between langue and parole, the first one and between competition and performance the second one, leaving evidence of the speech conceived as an individual act of use.
