Cambridge Syllabus Review

What is the most accurate definition for the term text?

• A painting, drawing, photograph, or engraving of a person, especially one depicting only the face or head and shoulders.

• A text can be defined as a single, coherent, unit of language, from the briefest spoken utterance to a book published across several volumes.

• 1. A digital audio file made available on the internet for downloading to a computer or mobile device, typically available as a series, new installments of which can be received by subscribers automatically.

• No text exists without context; students of English language must always consider how a text’s meaning is informed by the circumstances not only of its production, but also of its communication and reception.
