Based on the cognitive nature of metonymy,this paper discusses the coherent function of referential metonymy,predicational metonymy and illocutionary metonymy in discourses from the pragmatic perspective,proves the coordination of coherent mechanism in meta-function categories and cognitive mechanism in realizing textual coherence,and emphasizes the combination of cognitive,functional and pragmatic factors in textual comprehension.
