Discourse Semantics

Discourse Semantics is a branch of linguistic semantics that systematically studies how meaning is constructed and interpreted across utterances or sentences within connected text or conversation, distinguishing itself from sentential semantics by focusing on relations such as coherence, anaphora, and implicature that emerge at the level of discourse.
