Un modelo conciso de cohesión en el texto y coherencia en la comprensión

Diversos aspectos de cohesion y coherencia han sido estudiados extensamente desde una variedad de perspectivas. Usamos el termino coherencia para referirnos a las relaciones representacionales y el de cohesion para las indicaciones textuales desde las cuales se deberia construir representaciones coherentes. Este articulo presenta un modelo de cohesion y coherencia basado en la literatura existente de linguistica teorica y sicolinguistica. El modelo clasifica la cohesion y la coherencia en locales y globales, guiadas por la gramatica y guiadas por el vocabulario, cada una con sus propias especificaciones semanticas (por ejemplo: referencial, espacial, aditiva, temporal y causal). El modelo se ilustra usando ejemplos de un corpus linguistico de una novela. Finalmente, se discuten varias aplicaciones, incluyendo experimentos de tiempo de lectura y de seguimiento visual, modelos computacionales de comprension del discurso y herramientas computacionales de lecturabilidad. Este articulo resena algunas investigaciones en torno a la cohesion y la coherencia que se realizan actualmente en psicolinguistica, linguistica computacional, linguistica de corpus y estudios literarios.
