The theoretical assumption put forward in the present paper is that text is a natural phenomenon, whose development is governed by inner dynamics, as regular as regards any living system. This dynamics becomes accessible through the language mechanism. Through language an individual forms his inner mental space into a textual representation. On the surface, because of writing conventions, the text is linearly progressing. Its inner dynamics thus outlined cannot be measured by ordinary frequency counts or relational indicators, since those measures pre-require materialisation. Perspective Text Analysis (PTA) is a new methodological development, which handles both the verbal flow and the information flow in text production. The presentation gives a short outline of some of the fundamentals of PTA and shows in what way both flows can be linked in an analysis over levels.
