Text comprehension is a dynamic process in which readers enter into a dialogue with the text and interact with it: one's own knowledge is activated and the text is interpreted in its cultural and social context. The study of this process requires an interdisciplinary research program for linguistics and didactics, for which this volume provides theoretical considerations, text-type-specific models of analysis, and recommendations.
