The aim of the present article is a description of two types of utterances – dialogue and monologue in the baroque collection of carols constituting an essential link in the development of the whole genre. The analysis of these forms of communication also covers the issue of segmentation of the text and the review of measures that make it coherent. The research proves that Zabczyc’s main artistic ambition was to diversify the composition and the style of his carols. The variety of ways of structuring language is here combined with the capacity for integration of its internal segments, as a result of which this collection can be regarded as a rich source of information about the stages of constructing a text characterized by semantic and formal coherence.
