CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
1.1 Research Background and Research Significance
Linguistics is a scientific study of language (Gao, 2007) which encompasses all aspects of human languages, oral or written, formal or informal, seeking answers to fundamental questions about how language works. Linguistic theory is concerned with establishing a coherent set of independent principles to explain phenomena in language (Hickey, 2006). In modern society, linguists not only observe the changing characteristics and functions of languages, they also use linguistic theories to analyze the new language phenomena and discourse appearing in different social settings. In discourse analysis, researchers normally consider two main features: coherence and cohesion (Tanskanen, 2006). Many scholars of linguistics have been paying more and more attention to coherence and cohesion since the 1970s. Halliday & Hasan (1985), Van Dijk & Kintsch (1983), Fries(1983), Widdowson (1978), Wolf and Gibson (2005), Ziheng Lin, Hwee Tou Ng and Min-Yen Kan(2011) concentrated on structural relations, semantic relations and extralinguistic contexts respectively. Coherence is a complicated phenomenon in discourse analysis which has been developed in many perspectives such as semantic notion, pragmatic notion and psychological notion. Austin (1962) concluded that speech did acts to achieve certain purpose, which had pragmatic significance in the society.

Coherence is a complicated phenomenon in language studies. The research will use Speech Act Theory in analyzing the notion of coherence. However, few financial topics have been studied in linguistics, especially insurance policies.
