ABSTRACT

The rapid development of text linguistics, which marked the second half of the 20th century, is associated with a whole range of modifications of linguistic values, tasks and program settings. We can talk about the atmosphere of a certain "boom" around this area, which some linguists no longer consider an area, but the foundation, the basis of linguistics as a whole. In the modern interpretation of the text, researchers bring to the fore questions of the communicative plan, the tasks of the conditions for effective communication, which provides an unambiguous interpretation of the units of the created text, as well as the most complete understanding of the text by the recipient.
The relevance of this article lies in the prospects of the cognitive direction in linguistics, in particular the study of the cognitive foundations for understanding the text, since the text is not just the subject of an increasingly lively discussion by researchers working in various fields of the humanities. The text is becoming more and more one of the ways of representing linguistic communication as a process.

Keywords: text understanding, cognitive aspect, cognitive limitation, mechanisms for activity, background knowledge.
