Among the many strengths of the volume are the specific attention devoted to multimodality, traditionally disregarded in linguistic works on coherence, the significant effort in integrating Rhetorical Structure Theory with theories and tools drawn from other approaches, as well as the contributors’ modelling of analytical frames, which lend themselves to be applied to further work. [...] I believe the volume constitutes an extremely useful and rich contribution on discourse coherence.

This well-organized volume has both theoretical significance and application value. It presents a multifaceted picture of the pragmatics of discourse coherence through the nine chapters from various disciplines, which address coherence relations, discourse structure, cohesion, genre and multimodality from different theoretical angles, but which are also neatly fitted together like a completed jigsaw puzzle.
