A coerência segundo a perspectiva da teoria da linguagem de Eugenio Coseriu

Abstract

In works historically recognized in Textual Linguistics, coherence, in general, has been conceived as a message or content of the text, or as a network of conceptual relations established in the textual texture. In this paper, from Eugenio Coseriu's theory of language in which he proposes the existence of three levels of language (universal, historical and textual, we review the multiplicity of imputed (not always reconcilable) features to coherence. We aim to present a proposal for understanding coherence based on the theory of language levels, unraveling the relationship between the concepts of coherence, meaning and sense. As a result, we consider that coherence is not a single and homogeneous phenomenon. On the contrary, coherence is a tripartite phenomenon from which three theoretical objects emerge each of them aligned to a level of language.
