The study interprets technical texts as specialized texts of science, with an emphasis on knowledge building and the way it is based on a combination of cognitive semantics and pragmatics. It also discusses ways in which knowledge is shared, a process essentially characterised by a reflexive attitude to sharing. It prioritises the metacomponent of texts that can be considered metadiscourses and examines the possibilities of metapragmatic reflections based on their direction. Among all these options, it focuses on the ones that help to organize the text. Qualitative analysis is offered of the language tools that implement the operation of discourse deixis and the functioning of discourse markers.
