The main theme running through this volume is that coherence is a mental phenomenon rather than a property of the spoken or written text, or of the social situation. Coherence emerges during speech production-and-comprehension, allowing the speech receiver to form roughly the same episodic representation as the speech producer had in mind. In producing and comprehending a text, be it spoken or written, the interlocutors collaborate towards coherence. They negotiate for a common ground of shared topicality, reference and thematic structure — thus toward a similar mental representation of the text. In conversation, the negotiation takes place between the present participants. In writing or oral narrative, the negotiation takes place in the mind of the text producer, between the text producer and his/her mental representation of the mind of the absent or inactive interlocutor. The cognitive mechanisms that underlie face-to-face communication thus continue to shape text production and comprehension in non-interactive contexts. Most of the papers in this volume were originally presented at the Symposium on Coherence in Spontaneous Text, held at the University of Oregon in the spring of 1992.

Spine shows a touch of sunning, remains free of vertical creases. -- A comprehensive volume that explores the concept of coherence in naturally occurring discourse. The book examines how coherence, an essential feature of effective communication, is maintained in spontaneous speech and writing. It presents cross-linguistic, cognitive, and typological perspectives on the mechanisms that facilitate understanding in unplanned discourse, focusing on how speakers and writers organise information to make it accessible and meaningful to listeners or readers. The book is a key contribution to discourse analysis, linguistics, and cognitive science, highlighting both theoretical approaches and empirical studies. It includes contributions from prominent researchers in the field, each offering insights into the interaction between linguistic structures and the cognitive processes that drive coherence in spontaneous text. The volume covers various aspects of coherence, such as topic continuity, reference tracking, and the role of prosody, making it an essential resource for scholars and students interested in the relationship between language structure and meaning in real-time communication.
