The main aim of our study is to introduce the topic of textual linguistics from
the diachronic and synchronic perspective by employing the comparative approach during
the processing of relevant linguistic sources. The study will explore the development of
textual linguistics as one of the youngest linguistic fields. Furthermore, the study will focus
on the research subjects of textual linguistics and the establishment of basic vocabulary in
this field, with a heightened focus placed on the use of Czech and francophone linguistic
sources. In the introductory chapter of our text, we will discuss the origins of textual
linguistics/the linguistics of text, followed by the development of this field as documented
by selected linguistic publications. The second section of this paper will seek to apply the
comparative approach when processing sources in the Czech and French language so as
to delineate the pivotal terms of textual linguistics
