Annotation
L. uses concepts from the field of `realistic semantics' via study of divergences in the coherence structures in two texts dealing with the same scientific subject domain (`blood'), aimed at different receiver-groups (experts vs. non-experts). The aim is to show how the context-dependent factor `coherence' manifests itself in the form of the two texts, as well in their lexicon as in the syntactic ordering of their textual linearization.
