In Language , text is a broad term for something that contains words to express something. In Linguistics a text is a communicative act, fulfilling the seven constitutive and the three regulative principles of Textuality . Both speech and written language, or language in other media can be seen as a text within linguistics. In Literary Theory a text is the object being studied, whether it be a Novel , a Poem , a Film , an Advertisement , or anything else with a semiotic component. The broad use of the term derives from the rise of Semiotics in the 1960s and was solidified by the later Cultural Studies of the 1980s, which brought a corresponding broadening of what it was one could talk about when talking about literature; see also '' Discourse ''. In Mobile Phone communication, a text (or '''text message''') is a short digital message between devices, typically using SMS ( Short Message Service ). The act of sending such a message is commonly referred to as '''texting.''' In Computing , text refers to Character data, or to one of the Segments of a program in memory.
