On The Cognitive And Text-Analytic Status Of Coherence Relations

چکیده
A discourse is more than a random set of sentences, because it is coherent (e.g. Hobbs, 1990) Discourse coheres -among other thingsbecause coherence relations hold between the segments, or rather between the representation people make of the segments. A coherence relation is an aspect of tile meaning of two or more discourse segments that cannot be described in terms of tile meaning of tile segments ill isolation. In other words: it is because of this coherence relation that tile meaning of two discourse segments is more than the sum of tile parts.
