Abstract
This paper is a study of the formal structure of the semantic coherence of texts. It consists of a review and critique of previous studies of the topological structure of texts, and a re‐working of those proposals into linguistic topologies detailed in a previous paper by the author: i.e., into tolerance spaces. Analyses of certain literary texts in terms of these topologies are given, and such structures are considered in light of what they suggest about the linguistic autonomy of texts.
