Abstract
I present an overview of the concept of coherence in discourse
and explore how one of the essential elements to that coherence, relational
coherence, has been studied and partitioned in different discourse traditions. I
then introduce one of the theories that deals with discourse coherence,
Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST). Through the description of RST, I investigate
fundamental concepts in the study of coherence relations such as the
classification of relations and their signalling in discourse.
