However, those text-based features which provide cohesion in a text do not necessarily help achieve coherence,
that is, they do not always contribute to the meaningfulness of a text, be it written or spoken. It has been stated
that a text coheres only if the world around is also coherent.

Continuity of senses implies a link between cohesion and the theory of Schemata initially proposed by
Bartlett in 1932[2][3] which creates further implications
for the notion of a text. Schemata, subsequently distinguished into Formal and Content Schemata (in the eld of
TESOL[4] ) are the ways in which the world is organized in
our minds. In other words, they are mental frameworks
for the organization of information about the world. It
can thus be assumed that a text is not always one because
the existence of coherence is not always a given. On the
contrary, coherence is relevant because of its dependence
upon each individuals content and formal schemata.
