Abstract: This article explores the pragmatic approach to cohesion and coherence in discourse analysis. Unlike structural or purely linguistic methods, pragmatics emphasizes the dynamic interaction between text, speaker intentions, and reader interpretation. The study examines how cohesion extends beyond lexical and grammatical links to include pragmatic markers, deixis, and implicatures. It also highlights coherence as a cognitive process based on inferencing, shared knowledge, and communicative intent. By analyzing cohesion and coherence in both conversational and literary discourse, the article demonstrates how pragmatic elements contribute to textual unity and meaningful interpretation.
