Original Abstract

The dissertation contains a new method of identification of central cohesive chains. The method was tested on a corpus of thirty research articles in six different disciplines. Three of these (linguistics, history and philosophy) belong to humanities and were compared with three technical provinces (computer science, mechanical engineering and civil engineering). The resulting cohesive chains were called co-referential. Apart from the quantitative results of the analyses of individual texts and disciplines, the dissertation takes into account pragmatic and sociolinguistic aspects.
