Abstrakt: 

The present paper attempts to contribute to the study of coherence, an important linguistic notion not yet uniformly defined by linguists. While taking coherence into account particularly in relation to cohesion and intertextuality, the author concentrates on the differences between spoken and written discourse which are reflected in the language means that speakers/writers use when encoding the messages they want to convey to their addressees and which the hearers/readers have to decode in order to arrive at meanings coherent with the speaker’s/writer’s communicative goals. The author as a university teacher also includes some implications for the teaching process resulting from the important role coherence relations perform when structuring a well-formed and comprehensible text.
