This text provides an overview of Christian Schneider's book "Logiken des Erzählens," which examines the coherence and cognition in early Middle High German epic literature. Schneider explores the narrative connections and coherence in medieval literature, focusing on temporal-sequential storytelling and the perception of semantic-thematic connections by medieval readers. The book argues that the unique narrative logic of early Middle High German literature is shaped by the cognitive conditions of its time. The text also discusses the historical development of coherence theory and its connection to narration, cognition, and poetic linkage in ancient and medieval literature. It concludes by examining Schneider's analysis of grammatical and thematic coherence in medieval texts, particularly in relation to oral performance and the conditions of reception. Additionally, the text explores the concept of coherence in medieval narrative literature and its perception by contemporary readers, suggesting that the lack of syntactic coherence in medieval texts can be attributed to the oral transmission of these narratives. The bodily presence of the performer is also highlighted as a factor that blurs the boundaries between narrative levels and contributes to the perception of coherence. The text concludes by emphasizing the need for further research on the relationship between small narrative units and the overall coherence of medieval narratives. [Extracted from the article]
