s with a combined method in linguistic studies. Secondly,  the  thesis  tends  to  enrich  the  literature  of  coherence,  speech  acts theory and the studies in insurance — specifically international students health cover policies.  The  literature  on  the  linguistic  problem  is  monotonous.  Although  many scholars  study  discourse,  coherence  and  SAT,  the  studies  combining  coherence  and different  aspects  of  SAT  are  relatively  insufficient.  The  thesis  tends  to  focus  on coherence  of  the  OSHC  from  the  perspective  of  SAT,  and  add  current  studies  to  the literature in these areas. Thirdly,  the  study  of  discourse  in  OSHC  settings  tends  to  benefit  the  Chinese students  seeking  health  insurance  overseas.  In  the  recent  decades,  more  and  more students  choose  to  receive  further  education  overseas.  The  research  on  the  health insurance  of  these  countries  aims  to  help  international  students  get  an  in-depth understanding of the meaning of health insurance policies and select the right policies and right companies, thus gaining more benefits for themselves. In one word, the objectives of this thesis are to introduce linguistics theories into insurance topics and provide a good reference for health insurance relating to overseas students.

CHAPTER II LITERATURE REVIEW AND THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK  

Coherence  is  a  complicated  linguistic  phenomenon  in  discourse  analysis.  Many scholars  study  coherence  from  different  viewpoints.  Speech  Act  Theory  (SAT)  is  an effective  research  perspective  on  the  analysis  of  coherence  in  an  integrated  way.  In this chapter, the author will systematically review the literature of SAT and different notions  of  coherence  as  well  as  the  literature  on  health  insurance  and  Overseas Students Health Cover. 

2.1 Speech Act Theory 
Speech Act Theory (SAT) originated with Austin (1962), but was developed by Searle  (1980).  They  discussed  different  views  on  the  notion  and  classification  of  speech acts. Speech  Act  Theory  was  first  discussed  by  J.L.  Austin  in  his  works  How  to  do Things  With  Words  (1962).  Austin  investigated  different  kinds  of  speech  acts,  and realized  that  people  could  do  something  with  words.  If  the  speakers  sent  meaningful and understandable information to the listener or reader, then the speaker performed a本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
