1.2　Research rationale

The underlying beliefs of the research in this book are summarized in the following four aspects：close relationship between discourse coherence and genre，discourse coherence in a multimodal sense，discourse coherence as a holistic multi-layered system，and the use of the terms“visual mode”and“verbal mode”in this book.
