Can you swap one for the other?

Only partly. Almost all of chervil's flavor molecules (215 of 223) are also found in coriander, but coriander has 140 that chervil lacks. Chervil gives you part of coriander's character. This compares flavor only; texture, moisture and the job each does in a dish matter too.
