The coherence properties of phase fluctuating Bose-Einstein condensates are studied both theoretically and experimentally. We derive a general expression for the N-particle correlation function of a condensed Bose gas in a highly elongated trapping potential. The second order correlation function is analyzed in detail and an interferometric method to directly measure it is discussed and experimentally implemented. Using a Bragg diffraction interferometer, we measure intensity correlations in the interference pattern generated by two spatially displaced copies of a parent condensate. Our experiment demonstrates how to characterize the second order correlation function of a highly elongated condensate and to measure its phase coherence length.
