2. On the Theory of Discourse Coherence and the Meaning of Semantic

The meaning of data is semantics （semantic）. To put it simply， the data is a symbol. The data itself has no meaning. Only the data that is endowed with meaning can be used. At that time， data is transformed into information， and the meaning of data is semantics. Semantics is a domain characteristic， and the semantics that do not belong to any field do not exist. The semantic heterogeneity refers to the differences in the interpretation of the same thing and the difference in understanding of the same thing in different fields. For computer science， semantics generally refers to users interpretation of computer representations （symbols） used to describe the real world， that is， the way users connect with computer representations and the real world. Discourse coherence theory to guide English writing， English learners can make Chinese change their inherent Chinese discourse pattern of their influence， and cultivate their English discourse awareness and thinking mode， let them understand English discourse cohesion features， sentence structure and language habits in accordance with the adjustment of paragraph level of English，. English writing full view clear， logical， semantic coherence.
