In the earlier chapters of this Syntax several ways are discussed that assist the reader in correctly understanding the meaning of a sentence and how it coheres with its context. In discourse units of two or more sentences the hearer or reader is still expected to use his knowledge of the world and of the situation, but the correct interpretation of a sentence and its relation with the surrounding context often depends on the information provided by the sentence or sentences that precede or follow.
