The word text is related to “textile” and can be translated as “fabric” just a single threads form a fabric, so words and sentences form a meaningful and coherent text
Klarer,1991:1. Based on the statement on Klarer, when the text is coherent for the readers and addresses in this way, it is a discourse. A text is realized in knowable
context. The context is not a product of either the conscious or unconscious intention of an author; nor its centrality and autonomy evident. The text is always produced in relation
to something other. There are, in fact, raw materials of literature which form the necessary base from which it is produced.
People live in a world of words, when these words are put together to communicate of meaning, a piece of text is created. When you speak or write to communicate a
message, you are constructing a text. When you read, listen to, or view a piece of text, you are interpreting its meaning creating a text requires us to make choice about the
words people use and how people put them together. If people make the right choice than people can communicates with others. Our choice of words will depend on our purpose
and our context. So, the important thing about text is an understanding meaning which appropriate to its context.
