On the problem of comparison of the concepts "text" and "discourse"

This article is devoted to the comparison and analysis of the concepts of "text" and "discourse". The main difficulties in understanding each term were identified, various approaches to their definition were considered. The main and most valuable subject of study for linguists is the text, but both text and discourse remain difficult to define. In the modern linguistic understanding, the discourse is dynamic, the text is understood as a static object.
