Meaning-Text Theory is a linguistic framework developed by Igor Mel'čuk that focuses on the relationship between meaning and the structure of language. It aims to explain how ideas are transformed into sentences through a series of rules and representations. This theory emphasizes the importance of both semantic and syntactic levels in understanding language. The theory proposes a model where meaning is represented in a structured way, allowing for the generation of text. It includes various components, such as semantic representations, syntactic structures, and morphological rules, which work together to produce coherent and meaningful sentences in any language.
