Iraj Nemati Discourse analysis:

the study of language be yond The sentence, in text and conversation. When we ask how we make sense of what we read, How we can re cognize well, constructed texts as opposed to those that are jumbled or incoherent, How we understand speakers who communicate more than they say and how we successfully take Part in that complex activity called conversation, We are undertaking what is known as discourse analysis. Discourse analysis:

when we try and effort to interpret (or to be interpreted) and how we accomplish it.

There is a link between jenny and she and also between is coming and is. Cohesion:

Coherence: the connections that create meaningful interpretation of text. These connections may be based or speaker Shred knowledge. For example A:Could you give me a lift home? B: Sorry, I’m visiting my sister. (2) Turn-taking: the way in which each speaker takes a turn in conversation. Coherence:

an underlying assumption of conversation that you will make your conversational contribution such as is required. at the stage at the stage at which it occurs, by the accepted purpose or direction of the talk exchange in which you are engaged.
