Tekst (glotto)dydaktyczny, tekst autentyczny, tekst naturalny, tekst oryginalny – próba sprecyzowania pojęć

The division of texts into didactic and non-didactic can be conducted according to the criteria of glottodidactic relevance of a given text. The glottodidactic relevance can be defined as the applic­ability of a given text for reaching an expected glottodidactic aim.

Authenticity of a didactic text must be analysed within the framework of its communicative ade­quacy. An authentic didactic text is one that is congruous with the communicative situation in which or for which it was formulated. An original didactic text in turn is one which has not been changed in any way with respect to its original form and contents. Every didactic text must be an authentic text, but it does not necessarily have to be an original text. The characteristic features of didactic texts may be divided into linguistic features and glotto­didactic features.
