Abstract	Textuality signifies the traits of a text that render it a cohesive entity. Contemporary linguistics reconceptualizes language not merely as a communicative instrument but also as a semiotic system. Saussure in Europe and Chomsky in America introduced modern ideas about language. These ideas have changed the way we think about language from sounds, words, sentences, and meanings to discourse and text. The idea of textuality as a broader form of language has also become a theory. Textuality is now acknowledged as a distinct discipline. The conceptual evolution of textuality has been examined in relation to various branches of linguistics, including semantics, text linguistics, and French linguistics. This paper will delineate the historical evolution of textuality within diverse branches of contemporary linguistics.
