ASHIKA GOBRIE ENG2601 EXAM PREP1) Cohesion
A text is made up of grammatical and lexical elements, and cohesive features are
those that link one part of it with another.
These linkages provide a sense of wholeness and internal unity, and allow a text to
be read and understood easily.
Thus, cohesion plays a vital role in achieving coherence
Lexical cohesions
Related words or phrases belonging to the same semantic field.
This related vocabulary enables us to recognise the context, thus aiding coherence
Examples:
Repetition-of words or phrases
synonymy-words that are similar in meaning
antonymy-words that are opposite in meaning
collocation-words that belong to the same semantic field
time markers-relating to time (early, late, dates)
sense relations-(human-man, woman, girl, boy, he, she, people)
