The goal of this paper was to illuminate that texts are defined as theoretically abstract objects in various theories. Texts are not treated as substantive as literature or books. However, in the confrontation between written and spoken language, the text represents the written language. Theoretically, the text is first considered to be an object to be structured. In narrative semiotics, the text gradually loses its appearance as a linguistic substance as it is segmented from the surface to the depth, and is reduced to a multi-layered form. This paper confirmed once again that texts are used as abstract objects by introducing Ricoeur's theory. In Ricoeur's theory, the text is not defined in relation to discourse, but is used as a spatial concept that plays a decisive role in forming a disconnected relationship between subjects. In this theory, it can be seen that the text is an object of its own non-ostensive reference, out of the linguistic ostensive reference. Finally, the text has the concept of a detour of self-understanding. In this case, the text is defined as a device that guarantees the objectivity of interpretation because it has no relation with the subject. The concept of this text is not applied as a dominant ideology to explain a particular object or event. For the sake of the whole theory, it is used to describe only one phase that connects different parts.
