| Abstract | This paper deals with a linguistic experiment which has been conveyed following the research of coherence and cohesion in authentic written texts and spoken dialogues and monologues. Our research is based on spoken narratives to which speakers have additionally provided written versions. The recorded and collected material consists of 50 spoken texts and 50 written texts by 50 different respondents. The objective of this work is to extend previous similar linguistic experiments and to bring more experimental material to compare results obtained with the means of coherence research. In this paper, our research also aims to explain basic principles that make the texts intelligible for their recipients. Special attention has been paid to the thematic development of texts because the concept of thematic progressions (Daneš 1968, 1974) can reveal important cohesive chaining. |
