Abstract

Challenging the traditional view of the role of coherence in text organization, the research proposes a cognitive approach to “search-after-meaning-unity” procedure realized by means of an inferential model of coherence. The suggested approach assumes that coherence is not only something that exists in the text (as a static product), but also something with its roots in the memory of the language (user), the logic of which makes us to consider: (i) The distinction between the underlying (non-encoded) content and the linguistically represented information in the text, and (ii) the meaning holism a concept due to which the inferential relations an encoded meaning of a sentence together constitute its meaning. In this sense, a meaning of any language unit is composed of the interrelationship of the encoded and non-encoded aspects of meaning, the interpretation of which, in turn, depends on generating contextually and intentionally appropriate inferences. Side by side with identifying how the different inference types behave and get determined in different communication genres, the effectiveness lay out of “the inference-based-search-after-meaning-unity” at different levels of language use is also among the major concerns of the research.
