Explanation
The quality by which a linguistic artefact functions as a coherent, situated and communicative text. Shifts the question from a mere collection of sentences to the operation of a whole: coherence arises from form, use, knowledge and expectation.
Example
A shopping list is a text despite lacking sentences because situation and purpose connect its entries.
Counterexample
A mere label without the described formal, cultural or conceptual movement.
Distinction
Distinguish from Kohäsion; the neighbour remains connected as a crossway.
Effect on thought and perception
Shifts the question from a mere collection of sentences to the operation of a whole: coherence arises from form, use, knowledge and expectation.
Resonance
Shifts the question from a mere collection of sentences to the operation of a whole: coherence arises from form, use, knowledge and expectation.
