Abstract

Recent advances in large language models have transformed human-computer interaction. Despite their fluency, these models often produce texts that are grammatically correct but semantically incoherent, containing contradictions or disruptions in logical flow. This work investigates whether enriching text with syntactic and rhetorical information can improve incoherence prediction. Our experiments and analysis show that plain texts achieved higher accuracy because the added information was structurally and syntactically incompatible with the language model's architecture. Additionally, to demonstrate the practical importance of coherence assessment, we performed zero-shot experiments on a Brazilian disinformation dataset, suggesting that textual coherence can serve as a proxy for detecting misleading content. Code and models are available at https://github.com/ittozzamV/cohereclassifier.
