To my knowledge, there has not been any research involving the analysis of coherence of an English discourse by Arabs in the Arab World. This study analyzes some conditions which make “the Story of an Hour” coherent. Following Van Dijk (1977), the researcher attempted to find out how individual identity, whole-part, inclusion, membership, frame, senses relations, etc. make this story coherent. Just for facilitating the process of analysis, each line in the story is numbered. The analysis has shown that this story is coherent according to these conditions. It is also hoped that the study may contribute to the basics of teaching, teaching materials and producing and understanding coherent discourses.
Key words:
Coherence , Inclusion , Frame , Sense Relations , The Story of an Hour
