Demanding text: when is quite specific, technical. When it has different functions, metaphorical. 
Implicit meaning: when something is not explicitly said.

Another level is higher  critical approach 
Critical discourse analysis tries to envoy every text considering a text as a project.

CDA is concerned in how power is concerned in language  
 
Dimension 1  words  attitude: My neighbor 
                                                        Old witch 
                                                        Old woman 
                                                        Old lady  
                                                        They’re nouns  
 
The author is influencing the reader simply using the three words. 
In a critical approach we can ask: why? 
Terrorist or freedom fighter: is different according to the place 
Language is never neutral

English Linguistics and Translation 2. Schneider's dynamic model (2003)
 
It can be used for every language (I modelli che c’erano prima potevano essere usati solo per l’inglese) 
 
5 phases:
1. Foundation: English arrives in a new territory and bilingualism start. Whenever people move, they move
together with the language. The 2 languages are in contact.  
2. Exonormative stabilization: mother country provides norms, + elite bilingualism (borrowing) 
3. Nativization: settlers’ habits weakened, and a new English is born 
4. Endonormative stabilization: new linguistic norm 
5. Differentiation: maybe in dialects 
 
Diglossia: typical of Arabic, written variety and spoken variety. Prestigious variety used by speaker to write
and practical variety is used to write but they coexist.
