About written words or printed text, not pictures or sound.

نمط الاستخدام: textual [noun]
غلطة شائعة:
Learners sometimes confuse "textual" with the noun "text" and say *"Send me a textual" instead of "Send me a text." "Textual" is an adjective and must describe a noun, as in "textual message" or "textual content."
مرادفات

Based on a text’s exact wording

Focusing only on the exact words and form of a written text, especially in academic study.

نمط الاستخدام: textual [analysis/evidence/criticism/variant]
غلطة شائعة:
Learners may think "textual" here simply means "written" and not realize it often implies a careful, academic focus on wording. In phrases like "textual criticism" or "textual variant," the word refers to scholarly work on versions and exact wording of texts, not just any written material.
مرادفات
philological (More formal and academic; often broader, covering language history and structure as well as the text’s wording.) | documentary (In scholarly contexts, can mean based on written documents, but does not specifically stress the precise wording as strongly as "textual.")
أضداد
contextual (Focuses on the background, situation, or wider context rather than on the exact words of the text itself.) | interpretive (Emphasizes personal or theoretical interpretation of meaning, often going beyond the literal wording of the text.)
