Abstract

The article examines the links between the brevity of a text and textual coherence in pragmatic linguistics. The objective is to determine whether a text can be considered brief when it has integrated all the elements expected by the reader. The notion of contribution (Grice, 1989), characterized by its opening and closure, allows defining a short text as composed of an exhaustive number of contributions. The study focuses on patent texts, which are highly structured and controlled professional written discourses. They serve as a model of concise form resulting from a set of clearly defined contributions. It will be suggested that a completed text should not be classified as short or long but rather as constituted or not constituted by all the expected parts.
