The paper presents arguments in favour of treating proverbs as text, and in consequence, as linguistic units. The starting point is the concept of integral text linguistics formulated by Jerzy Bartmiński and Stanisława Niebrzegowska-Bartmińska in their handbook Tekstologia (‘Text linguistics’, 2009). According to this theory, text is a supra-sentence linguistic unit, and the text of the parole plane corresponds to an abstract template of the langue plane. The argumentation that this paper presents in favour of regarding proverbs as text is based on an analysis of examples from the National Corpus of Polish which contain proverbs. It shows clearly that proverbs fulfill all of the requirements of textuality; among others, they are uniquely distinguished as a communicative whole, they receive a clear genre qualification, they have their senders and receivers, a clear communicative intent and a stylistic qualifier. The final part of the paper contains a proposition to describe proverbs as “minimal text”, and to separate the terms minimal text and prototypical text. Within this interpretation, a proverb is a prototypical minimal text that is different from both non-prototypical minimal texts, and from non-prototypical non-minimal long texts such as novels, as well as prototypical texts such as fables which tend to be longer (non-minimal).

The aim of the work is to reflect on the essence of such texts as bus tickets, banknotes, postage stamps, receipts, street signs, and credit cards, which I define as minimum texts. On the one hand, I am interested in the question of what research potential lies in the analysis of minimum texts from a genological perspective and, on the other hand, what analysis criteria and categories from the field of genre studies could be relevant for the analysis of minimal texts. I will try to explain by means of a few examples how I define minimal texts and what I see as the value of this category in answering the questions raised above and outlining the deiderata of integrated multimodal text type linguistics.
