Any disruption to any part of the text will cause the entire text to be disrupted. Text coherence is comprised of several components, one of which is rhetorical coherence. Suppose rhetoric was summarised in a few elements in the past. In that case, it seems that today it has found a broader meaning and can be considered to include all linguistic and non-linguistic elements that convey a message from the sender to the receiver according to the context of the text.<br /><br />Maulavi's Masnavi appears to lack conventional rhetorical devices. However, this text has a coherent structure. In other words, the coherence of its rhetorical structure is due to different components that are rarely seen in other didactic works. Using a descriptive-analytical method, this research aims to identify the factors of rhetorical coherence in Masnavi Ma’anavi. According to the research, various elements contribute to the rhetorical coherence of a text. These include the interaction of different language roles in a single text, the coherence of the text despite deviation from the linguistic norms, the syntax of the text, dialogues and turn-taking, the structure of the text and its suggestive aspects, attention to the textual and situational contexts, tone, mood, and embedding.
