Title: Cohesion and Coherence: Linguistic Approaches
Abstract: How can the connectedness in text and discourse be accounted for? The principled differences between two answers to this question are discussed. While a cohesion approach seeks the answer in overt textual signals, a coherence approach considers connectedness to be of a cognitive nature. The coherence paradigm is dominant in most recent work on the structure and the processing of discourse. It opens the way to a fruitful interaction between text linguistics, discourse psychology, and cognitive science, but at the same does not neglect the attention for linguistic detail typical of the cohesion approach.
