Abstract
Aim. The aim of the paper is to establish that the situationality as a category of the semantics underlines the coherence as a category of textuality.
Methodology. The paper considers different approaches to the notion of situation and the relationship between the notions of situationality and coherence. The methods of linguistic text analysis and the set-theoretical approach are used.
Results. It is proven that situationality underlines the coherence.
Research implications. The results of the study contribute to the textuality theory and offer an algorithm for a situational analysis of a text.
