text linguistics
Professor Kjell Lars Berge, "professor i teksvitenskap", is mentioned in the link below with this translation. I couldn't find a specific description of what "tekstvitenskap" actually is, but here's a link to one for text linguistics, if it helps. There is also something called "textology" but I would treat that one with caution..

: I also considered semiotics, but this is a more accurate term

: This is also a type of "tekstvitenskap", but as I understand it, more in an psychological, anthropological, philosopical or cultural context.

Description
"Forskergruppa Tekst og retorikk arbeider med muntlige, skriftlige, verbalspråklige og multimodale ytringer. Ytringer betraktes som sosiale handlinger mennesker i mellom i nåtid og fortid i alle mulige situasjoner og sammenhenger. Ytringene som gruppa studerer, forstås som meningsskapende kommunikative handlinger. Studiet av slike meningsskapende ytringer kaller vi i forskergruppa for tekstvitenskap."
