Abstract
The last chapter showed some of the ways in which structural properties of texts could contribute to their meaning. Most of the discussion in that chapter related to sentence-level structures and was concerned with the area of traditional grammar or syntax. However, there are many aspects of meaning that are the product of wider textual features and these form the subject of the current chapter.
