| Literally, the study and analysis of specific text. The work involves studying the terminology, the reason for composition of the piece, the culture and the political or other situations related to the material. This is often done in the context of historical materials, where the concepts of the information in the text may be obscure to readers, or require interpretation in the course of discussing a theory or historical issue. |
