What is commonly referred to as mathematical linguistics comprises two areas of research: the study of the statistical structure of texts and the construction of mathematical models of the phonological and grammatical structure of languages.
4. Interpret words and phrases as they are used in a text, including determining technical, connotative, and figurative meanings, and analyze how specific word choices shape meaning or tone. 5. Analyze the structure of texts, including how specific sentences, paragraphs and larger parts of the text (for example, a section, chapter, scene or stanza) relate to each other and the whole.

Attempts have been made to derive the grammatical rules of languages from the statistical structure of texts written in those languages, but such attempts are generally thought to have been not only unsuccessful so far in practice but also, in principle, doomed to failure.
The structure of texts in terms of their communicative purpose is analyzed and the subject of speech in the "fabric" of the text based on the example of texts in "General Electrical Engineering" is discussed.
The unit of discourse taken up as the point of departure for analysis of spoken data is that of a 'message', which is proposed by Hasan ([1995]: 227) as 'capable of realizing an element in the structure of texts'.
This initial vocabulary of rhetorical predicates to represent the functional structure of texts is intended to have adequate scope while keeping the numbers of predicate labels to a manageable number.
And they further suggested that it was functional tenor that was in fact responsible for what we came to call the schematic structure of texts (we had Labov & Waletzky's 1967 work on narrative structure, and Hasan's work on appointment making and service encounters in mind; Hasan 1977, 1979, Halliday & Hasan 1980).
