"the legitimacy of such a broad claim has been debated and challenged, but there is no question that specific metaphors such as text and narrative have proven to be fertile ground for theoretical critique of landscape. In the following shorter extract, james corner (1991) links landscape as text with landscape as site, and in "reading and writing the site" (1992) John Dixon Hunt further develops the proposition that gardens and landscapes are "readable," arguing that the interpretation of their symbolic content deserves as much emphasis as does analysis of their formal properties. Mathew Potteiger and Jamie purinton extend the argument in Landscape Narrative (1998), proposing three realms within which landscape can be interpreted as narrative: as story, context /intertext, and discourse. Using the Crosby Arboretum as an example, they illustrate how these linguistic concepts can usefully inform landscape architecture. "
