The term 'text' means whatever is to be 'read'. A text [from the Latin textus (tissue), texere (weave)] is made by weaving together a combination of signs and symbols in designs intended to make meaning. The range of texts includes those which are spoken (e.g. oral stories, jokes, rhymes) handwritten (e.g. letters, notes, cards, essays) printed (e.g. books, magazines, fanzines, newspapers, journals, catalogues, comics) electronic (e.g. CD-ROMs, e-mail, websites, television programmes, videos, films, cartoons) physical (e.g. plays in performance, signing) Texts are often multimodal-for example: TV adverts (moving image, voice over) picture storybooks (words, pictures) maps (words, symbols) text books (words, diagrams, photographs, symbols) comics (words, pictures, signs) illuminated manuscripts (words, pictures, graphics) film (moving image, spoken and written words, gestures, expressions, special effects). Different combinations of modes require different reading patterns-for example, reading a narrative involves a predominantly linear progression; reading a CD-ROM is multidirectional.
