Abstract "If coherence is the sine qua non of nearly all written communication, why do we not have a comprehensive treatment of it, especially for those who study or teach formal, academic writing? Beyond Cohesion: Toward a Theory of Coherence builds on the seminal work of Halliday & Hasan, and then offers a comprehensive treatment of coherence along three lines: linguistic, cognitive, and culturally salient, using close linguistic argument and several illustrative figures. The theory ends with implications for this comprehensive treatment. Although the initial audience is that of graduate studies in rhetoric and composition, those working in linguistics, language and cognition, and artificial intelligence may benefit from this approach"-- Provided by publisher.
