Abstract
This article provides criteria of differentiating discourse and text on the basis of the integrational approach. Discourse is viewed as ainter-subject process of interaction of minds aimed at constructing language signs, while text is considered as a stimulus for such interaction. It also deals with the views of famous linguists and studies the discourse and the text in broad understanding, particularly as psychological and philosophical phenomena. Additionally, it studies these two “unidentified objects” from the point of view of an integrationist, and defines as there is no single system of linguistic symbols sitting motionless in the mind the area of linguistic, neatly divided into departments, and the use of language consists in creatively endowing certain phenomena with semiotic significance in order to carry out meaningful operations over the world in accordance with the needs of a continuous stream of unique communicative situations in real time.
