Abstract
The purpose of this research is to study the structure and coherence of the paragraph in Thai academic writing. Data were collected from 30 contemporary Thai academic writings. The study found that there are ten types of paragraph. It also found that six types of paragraph appeared in the introductions of these writings, seven types of paragraph appeared in the body of the text, and two types of paragraph appeared in the conclusion. The research also studied notional structure and surface structure of the paragraph in Thai academic writing. The study found that notional structure is composed of four parts: exposition, nucleus, support, and ending. Nucleus is the obligatory part while exposition, support, and ending are optional parts.The study also found that surface structure is composed of three parts: stage, body and closure. Body is the obligatory part while stage and closure are optional parts. The research also studied the cohesion of Thai academic paragraphs. The study found that there are two types of cohesive devices in Thai paragraphs: theme cohesion and structural cohesion. Theme cohesion is linking each unit in a paragraph with a semantic relation, while structural cohesion involves various devices used to structure the language. The systematic study of paragraphs in Thai academic writing shows that they have a common grammatical structure.
