ABSTRACT

On the basis of the analytical model presented in section 2.2, this chapter will display comprehensive analyses of filmic text extracts which elucidate their structure and coherence based on relational meaning-making. The analyses of larger excerpts will put emphasis on the unfolding film discourse structures which are established by the discourse relations. The aim is to give examples for every film discourse relation presented in section 2.2.4. This general view of the use of the different relations in several contexts will allow a comprehensive examination of film discourse coherence.
