Abstract

Coherence is one important concept in discourse analysis. This paper selects one case of business English correspondence as the research subject to demonstrate how the coherence principle is applied to business English discourse. Through analyzing cohesion and coherence in business English correspondence, we can achieve logical, meaningful and coherent purposes, which guide us to write effective and coherent business English correspondence. Then the paper provides some teaching implications accordingly.
