Can written text speak, or experience emotions?
I adopt an anti-realism view:
Point is whatever is external [texts, physical things] are all conditioned by the human conditions [in this case emotions, speech].
Therefore texts-by-themselves [Kant] do not have emotions nor speak.
The main philosophical topic is this;
Contemporary philosophical realism is the belief that some aspects of reality are ontologically independent of our conceptual schemes, perceptions, linguistic practices, beliefs, etc. Realism may be spoken of with respect to other minds, the past, the future, universals, mathematical entities (such as natural numbers), moral categories, the material world, and thought. Realism can also be promoted in an unqualified sense, in which case it asserts the mind-independent existence of the world, as opposed to skepticism and solipsism. Philosophers who profess realism often claim that truth consists in a correspondence between cognitive representations and reality.[1]
Realists tend to believe that whatever we believe now is only an approximation of reality but that the accuracy and fullness of understanding can be improved.[2] In some contexts, realism is contrasted with idealism. Today it is more usually contrasted with anti-realism , for example in the philosophy of science.

Life exists to create texts, therefore it seems natural to correlate the two.

Text speaks and conveys emotion through itself, but not of itself.
Can the mind exist without the ability of any text?

We do seem to have an internal dialogue… be it thought or intuition, or even a mix of the two that would result in an internal text that we then express outwardly via communication.
Do you think communication… via text and speech… is the beginning of sentient man?
