A quick definition of textual citation:

A textual citation is a way of referring to a specific source of information, such as a book or article, in order to support an argument or claim. It is like giving credit to someone for their ideas or research. It can also be used in legal contexts to refer to a previous court case or law that supports or contradicts a position. A textual citation usually includes the author's name, the title of the work, and the page number where the information can be found.

A more thorough explanation:

A textual citation is a reference to a legal precedent or authority, such as a case, statute, or treatise, that either supports or contradicts a given position. It is often shortened to "cite".

  • When writing a research paper, it is important to include textual citations to show where you found your information.
  • In a court case, a lawyer may use a textual citation to support their argument and show that it is based on legal precedent.
  • A patent application may include a textual citation to a previous patent or publication to show that the invention lacks novelty or nonobviousness.

These examples illustrate how textual citations are used to provide evidence and support for a particular argument or position. By referencing previous legal cases, statutes, or publications, a person can strengthen their argument and show that it is based on established legal principles.
