Cohesion and coherence are two important characteristics of discourses.Halliday and Hasan have pointed out that cohesion is the basis of coherence and coherence is the premise of forming discourse.The commonly used cohesive devices are:preference,ellipsis,substitution,etc.Discourse coherence is mainly manifested in sentences and paragraphs.However,in real discourse analysis environment,traditional methods on cohesion and coherence are not enough.This article talks about the conception of discourse analysis at the beginning.Then,we list some of the traditional cohesive devices and its uses.Following that,we make corpus analysis.Finally,we explore and find a new device in textual analysis:discourse logical inferences.
Cohesion and coherence are two important characteristics of discourses. Halliday and Hasan have pointed out that cohesion is the basis of coherence and coherence is the premise of forming discourse. The commonly used cohesive devices are： preference, ellipsis, substitution, etc. Discourse coherence is mainly manifested in sentences and paragraphs. However, in real discourse analysis environment, traditional methods on cohesion and coherence are not enough. This article talks about the conception of discourse analysis at the beginning. Then, we list some of the traditional cohesive devices and its uses. Following that, we make corpus analysis. Finally, we explore and find a new device in textual analysis：discourse logical inferences.
