Cohesion and Coherence Presenter: Tory Concepts of Coherence Text vs. Discourse Texture The notion of Coherence Text vs. Discourse The term text is used in linguistics to refer to any passage, spoken or written, of whatever length, that does from a unified whole. It may be anything from a single proverb to a whole play, from a momentary cry for help to an all-day discussion on a committee. (Halliday and Hasan,1976) Some (Coulthart) think that text only refers to written language, not including spoken. Leech employs the term discourse to refer to communicative language.
