According to Neubert (1985), “text types motivate particular frames and act out certain scenarios ....They recast the linguistic material available in the system of a language into socially efficient, effective and appropriate moulds” (p. 124). He believes that texts are various instances clustering around a holistic experience that has been shared over time. This ‘prolonged interactive experience’ takes the shape of prototypical encounters and this empirical prototypicality is then translated into the concept of the prototype text. “Its essential nature lies in the fact that it is more than the sum of its features” (p. 127) and text types are prototypes according to just this definition. Other scholars have come up with their own text typologies. More specifically, Werlich (1976) distinguishes between five text types: description, narration, and argumentation, instruction, and procedure text types. They are conceived as an idealized norm for “text structuring which serve as a deep structural matrix of rules and elements for the encoder”
